About Champ

Adoption Fee: $60.00
Pit Bull mix
Age: Adult
Sex: Male

Meet Champ! Champ is a volunteer favorite!! He is playful and spunky yet gentle. If you allow him to hop up to greet you he will stand with you and let you softly boop him in the nose while he gently plays with your hands. He is also very well behaved with other dogs to the point that we have been able to have him help us temperament test incoming dogs to the shelter. Champ and his friend, Nyla, were surrendered to the shelter at the end of February due to their owner falling ill. Unfortunately, there was no one else in the family that could take them on, they were handed over to the shelter in hopes that we could find them a new family. He has transitioned pretty well into the shelter life despite his loss but is hopeful that he can find a family soon. Champ is a really laid-back fella who doesn't really care about much it seems. He does enjoy being outside, and his ideal life would probably include lots of land to explore and lay around in. We could 100% see him thriving in a larger family that could take turns giving him pets and cuddling with him on the couch at night after a long day of play. He likes to play with other dogs, but when he's done playing he will just wander away from the group and entertain himself. We think he would fare well in a family with children of any age as he's just a big ole' lazy dog who will take any family he can get. He isn't very energetic either, which is great for those who may not have time to keep up with a more busy dog. Champ is about six years old and weighs 53 pounds. He has been vaccinated, dewormed and has tested positive for heartworm disease as well as Ehrlichia. He is already being treated for Ehrlichia, which is a tick-born disease, but will need to be treated for heartworm disease upon adoption. There are several cheap options for treatment, so please don't let this diagnosis deter you if you are interested in adopting Champ! Please share our adoptable pets to help them find their forever homes. Located at the Brownsville Haywood County Animal Shelter in Brownsville, Tennessee. The adoption fee is $60 after he is neutered on April 26th. We have no pull fee and can help arrange transport for local 501c3 rescue groups.
