Navajo, a 6.5-year-old, neutered male Pitbull mix weighing around 75 pounds, is a sweet, affectionate, and easygoing pup looking for his forever home. He's the perfect blend of playful energy and relaxed companionship, happy to join you for a walk or curl up for a cozy evening. Navajo is a toy enthusiast and a champion cuddler who adores being close to his people. He's an excellent car rider, a favorite at the vet, has no issues with stairs, and loves finding cozy nap spots like laundry baskets or bathtubs! Navajo has shown no resource guarding with food, treats, toys, or people.
Ideal Home
Navajo would thrive in a stable, moderately active home that enjoys daily walks, occasional outings, and lots of affection. He doesn't need an ultra-active lifestyle, just consistent exercise, love, and companionship. He could do well as an only dog or with a compatible canine friend. Navajo would do best in a cat-free home as he has shown a strong prey drive and fixation toward cats.
Ongoing Health
Navajo needed dental work upon arrival in foster care, and several damaged teeth were removed, including his canines. His remaining teeth are healthy, and he still happily chews his favorite bones.
Training & Support
Navajo is fully house-trained and crate-trained, though he doesn't require crating at home and will nap with his crate door open. He can be left loose in the house when you're away and shows no signs of separation anxiety. He is polite and non-reactive on leash, though he may pull a little at the start of walks when excited. He enjoys playing with other dogs, particularly in one-on-one or small group settings, and usually reads social cues well, though occasional gentle redirection may be needed if he gets a little too excited. He has done well with dogs of all sizes but tends to feel most comfortable with dogs his size or smaller. Proper introductions help him succeed with bigger dogs.
