Klondike Terrier & Pit Bull Terrier Mix Cleveland, OH

What would YOU do for a Klondike? Fortunately, for this Klondike, all you have to do is adopt him!

Klondike is a big, clumsy, affectionate oaf and at 78 lbs loves a good lap to climb into. He has no concept of his size, he thinks he’s just a baby! When he gets the zoomies, he's basically a fuzzy freight train! Living in a foster home, Klondike has made leaps and bounds with his overall house manners.

Klondike plays hard and loves harder. He enjoys making new friends with people, and is an excellent snuggle buddy when it's time to unwind. He can also be independent when he’s comfortable and go lay in a quiet space with his toys. He’s frequently found snoozing away in the guest room in the morning, hogging the full size bed to himself.

Klondike enjoys a good game of fetch in the yard, but his favorite game is "keep away" because he loves when you can get in on the activity with him. Klondike can be quite rowdy and boisterous in his play style with people and other dogs, so he would do best in a home with plenty of room to run around in a fenced in yard. Due to his size and play style, he’s better suited for older kiddos though he has been quite gentle with little ones that he’s met. He will need extra time to adjust to other doggie companions and may enjoy being a spoiled single pup even more. His current foster brother doesn't mind his activity and rough wrestling, so other doggie play mates that are tolerant of his size and rowdy tendencies would be best. He loves a taste of adventure but is most happy in the comfort of his safe place, aka at home. He loves belly rubs, face and ear scratches – his favorite spot to be pet is anywhere!

Klondike is totally housebroken and crate-trained. He is gentle taking treats and toys. He has a curious streak and he likes a bit of mischief here and there, but he's a good boy who's been doing great in the routine of a home. He understands basic cues like sit, down, and touch thanks to his all his hard work with a trainer. He’s a big guy with big feelings, so if you like big mutts with big jowly faces, you'll love this smooshy blockhead. He is estimated to be around 2 years old.

The CITY DOGS mission is to increase adoptions from the City Kennel by changing the image of the pit bulls who make up the majority of the kennel population, by preparing all adoptable dogs in the kennel for lives in loving homes and by creating as many opportunities as possible for the public to meet and get to know our dogs for the terrific pets they are meant to be.

Our Adoption Process...
Here's a little about how things work:
All of the CITY DOGS posted for adoption are available for direct adoption from the kennel, unless noted otherwise. You must schedule a meet with a dog in advance - we are not currently accepting walk-ins. Please look online first to see if there are any dogs you think would be a good fit for your home before scheduling a meet. To get the process started, visit www.tinyurl.com/meetacitydog and fill out the form. One of our adoption counselors will get in touch to schedule and confirm your meet! At the kennel, an adoption counselor will introduce you and your family to the adoptable dogs, share information we know about them, and discuss our suggested ways for successfully integrating a new dog into your home. You are welcome to meet multiple dogs. If the dog you adopt is already fixed, he or she may leave with you that day - otherwise, the dog can go home after receiving the spay or neuter surgery.)

About Our Dogs: All available dogs have gone through a behavioral and medical assessment. This assessment is a snapshot of who the dog is at that given time. We cannot make any guarantees with regard to behavior, temperament or health of any City Dog once they are in the home. Most of our dogs are picked up as strays, so we do not know what kind of home environment they were living in (i.e. with kids, other dogs or other cats), nor do we know if most of them are house trained. Everything we know about them is based on volunteer and staff observations. We do have some dogs in foster homes, where they will have more information about how the dog is in a home environment. It is very hard to tell with certainty whether or not a dog will be good with kids, cats or another dog. If you have kids in the home or another dog, we do require that they be present for a meet and greet with the dog you are considering for adoption.

Heath/Vaccinations: Dogs that are adopted directly from the kennel need to go to your personal vet within two weeks of leaving the kennel. All dogs receive their DAPPL, Rabies, and Bordatella vaccines, though you may be required to get follow up boosters. All dogs come microchipped and with a Cuyahoga County license.
