Aka Doc, Doc-a-Doo, and Mr. Doc Watson! He is an almost 5-year-old staffy mix, weighing approximately 50lbs. Contact me today at [email protected] to learn more or meet Doc!The Good Super snuggly. Will ball up into the tiniest little croissant and sit in your lap, sleep under the covers and keep your warm. 95%% of the time he is super-chill. Listens well and can sit, is crate-trained and will go right in when you say "get in your house." He's not an alpha dog and responds well to alpha humans, and although he is not a barker in general, he has a good bark for protection when needed When he's sad or wants out of his crate, he will sing you a song that sounds like some kind of crazy bird Crate-trained and we can include the crate We will include approximately 6 months of his food (from Patton Ave Pet). He doesn't do well with grains or chicken (like many Pitties, it makes him itchy). We will pay $250 to the vet of your choice (he has been going to Partners in AVL or Swannanoa Valley Animal Hospital) to go towards his next check up/shots. He is currently up to date on all shots. He has successfully and gently lived with cats. The Challenges He's a bit of an escape artist, so best to have a privacy fence and/or a place for him to run. He can jump a regular chain link fence. If he's left alone outside of his crate and has access to shoes or anything leather, he will chew on them. He can be left alone out of the crate *if* he has no access to things, but is OK in his crate for up to about 5 hours (although ideally not in that long every day bc he has zoomies to burn for sure). He is too excited to be around small children (he is very strong and jumps/runs fast) but he's not aggressive with kids, just very excited and wanting to love them with more power than he should. He probably would do best as the only dog in the household. That way he can get all the love.
