Some dogs are born to be royalty, and Barkus Aurelius certainly got the memo! Affectionately known as Aurelio, this handsome 4-month-old Pit Bull Terrier/Labrador Retriever mix may have an emperor's name, but underneath it all is a goofy, affectionate puppy who's simply looking for his forever kingdom! Dressed in a stunning creamy tan coat and sporting the most mesmerizing icy blue eyes, Aurelio has the kind of looks that stop people in their tracks. His soulful gaze, floppy ears, and sweet puppy face make it nearly impossible not to fall in love at first sight!
As the only boy in his litter of three, Aurelio is every bit the lovable little gentleman. He's happiest when he's with his people. Whether he's wrestling with his sisters, soaking up belly rubs, or climbing into your lap for a cuddle, he's the kind of puppy who's simply happy to be included in whatever adventure the day brings!
Ideal Home
Aurelio is looking for a home that can provide him with a structured routine. He has been living with his two sisters and an older 7-year-old Staffordshire mix. While he's learning to respect the older dog's boundaries, slow, supervised introductions would be recommended for any potential new resident, including cats and young children, as he has not been introduced to them yet.
Ongoing Health
Aurelio is a healthy puppy who has received all age-appropriate vetting.
Training & Support
Aurelio thrives on a structured routine and is learning quickly with positive reinforcement and consistency. He is making great progress with crate and potty training, as well as learning impulse control during meal times. He is friendly and affectionate but is still working on not jumping when excited. He'll continue to blossom with consistent training and plenty of love.
