Meet Pretzel, a handsome bully mix with a heart of gold and a wiggle that's impossible to resist! His independently expressive ears and charming head tilts are just the beginning of his appeal. Pretzel is estimated to be between 1-2 years old and weighs around 72 lbs. He's a big boy with a puppy's spirit, eager to please and learn. He's incredibly people-oriented, often checking in with his handler and leaning in for affection. While he can get a bit jumpy and mouthy when excited, it's all in good fun, and with consistent guidance and positive reinforcement, he's learning to channel his enthusiasm. He's a smart cookie, especially when treats are involved, and already knows how to sit! Pretzel is learning to navigate the world with confidence and would thrive with a family who can provide him with structure, patience, and plenty of love.
