About Halo

Schnauzer / Pit Bull
Age: Young Puppy
Sex: Male

Meet Halo !! We can not even with this guy!! He is beyond adorable ���%8D Tiny in size, huge in personality!! Halo was in absolute horrible condition and was taken to an outdoor shelter. We got him here quickly and after a little love and medical care he's doing so much better!! His stomach was so full of worms he wasn't able to poop ���� He would not have made it much longer if left in his condition. Thankfully he's so much better. Aside from the hair you'd never know he had a rough start. Yeah he's a little hairless still but it adds to his appeal we think���� He had mange (not contagious) and will need time to regrow the hair. In the meantime it gives you a valid excuse to dress him in sweaters and carry him around like a baby so�'�|. His hair is already starting to fill in quickly. Halo is approx. 11 weeks old and weighs only 12 pounds. We have zero clue what kind of dog he is. Probably some pitbull in there but we honestly can't tell. He's very small now but his growth could have been stunted due to lack of care. Typically they make up that size later in life. He only has half a tail, hard to tell if that was from birth or an early injury. It's super cute thought! He will be neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccines as part of his adoption. (There are more photos on our facebook page of when he arrived and his progress) He has been great with other dogs. He loves to play with them. He has no idea he's tiny! He will try to wrestle with the big dogs as if he's their size. He can be a little overwhelming to dogs that aren't playful but he is learning. He has not yet met any cats. He is great with kids. He has no problem being carried around like a baby lol. Halo has been doing decent with potty training for his age but it not fully potty trained. He is learning to walk on the leash. He likes car rides but does best if kenneled. He has also done very well with crate training. He went RV camping this weekend and loved it!! He is an energetic little guy. He's all puppy. He loves to run and play. He would love an active family and/or another fun loving dog to play with. He also has a very cuddly and snuggly side to him. He's a really sweet boy and loves his people. He will find any person or dog to curl up next to for a nap. Halo has not shown any food, toy or treat aggression with humans or other dogs. He loves toys. He is still a bit in the chewing stage so having lots of toys and bones around helps him make good choices. Adopting a young puppy is a ton of work. They will have lots of potty accidents, chew things up etc. You will need to help them learn things like leash walking, crate training and basic manners. It can be a lot of work but the reward is a dog that fits well into your family's lifestyle if you invest proper time on training with them. Please carefully consider the time and effort a puppy requires before adopting. Located in Hampton VA. (He will need to be adopted within a 1 hour drive radius) Vet and home checks required. �'�%BC��%8FPlease message [email protected] directly with questions or to get an application�'�%BC��%8F
