About Circus

Circus needs a new home! We rescued this 11 year old lab/pit/boxer mix on August 9, 2025. He was in a great foster home. The foster even adopted him last December. However, when the adopter moved in with her significant other who had cats....things did not work out. Circus has a high prey drive and he was returned to us on May 20, 2026. We did have a great foster step up to foster him while we search for his forever home. Circus is a really great dog! Here is what his foster has to say about him: Circus is a distinguished old man with the comedic spirit of a puppy. He is housebroken and walks on the leash nicely. He knows sit, stay, shake, lie down, and loves playing with other dogs. He has prey drive with cats so cannot be homed with feline friends. He loves all people and gives excellent lean-in hugs and lie-down cuddles! Will wear any hat you put on his head-as long as it's fashionable. He is silly, easy, needs at least one good walk a day and otherwise gets a few spurts to play with toys but mostly just lies around and snoozes. he is on a salmon diet, as he is allergic to chicken. In our home, he seemed to have seasonal allergies and Apoquel works well for him-he gobbles it up easily. Cytopoint shots also work but he prefers to avoid the vet if possible and has some fear aggression there. When he was left alone, we kept a cone on him so he could not lick or nibble open any itchy spots.
