In the shelter’s words

MEET METRO Say hello to Metro, a two-year-old Pittie mix who is absolutely bursting with love, personality and charm! This sweet, people loving boy is the perfect blend of playful and cuddly — bringing all the fun energy you could ever want while never passing up an opportunity for some serious snuggle time! What Makes Metro So Special: On the smaller side for a Pittie, Metro is a wonderfully manageable size — but do not let that fool you for even one second because this boy carries an absolutely ENORMOUS heart that more than makes up for it! Metro loves people with everything he has and makes sure everyone around him knows it! Metro's Highlights: Potty Trained — Metro knows exactly how a home works and takes his house manners very seriously Crate Trained — Settled, comfortable and relaxed in his crate making routines smooth and stress free Yard Lounger Extraordinaire — Metro LOVES spending time outside soaking up the fresh air and sunshine in the yard Stick Enthusiast — Why buy expensive toys when there are perfectly good sticks everywhere? Metro has figured out life and we respect it completely Good with Older Kids — Metro has had positive interactions with older children and does well with kids who know how to engage with an excited and enthusiastic pup Eager to Learn — Metro is doing wonderfully with his obedience training and genuinely loves the process of learning new things. This smart boy is always ready for the next lesson! Positive with Other Dogs — Metro has had great interactions with other dogs through slow and proper introductions showing he has the potential to do well in a multi dog home Cat Testing Pending — Metro has not been cat tested yet so we recommend caution and slow introductions if you have a feline family member at home A Little Note About Metro: Metro is so full of love and excitement that when he gets really happy he can be a bit jumpy and mouthy — which is completely normal for a young and enthusiastic two year old pittie! With continued training, consistency and patience this is something Metro is actively working on and improving every single day. He is eager to please and genuinely wants to get it right! Metro is Looking For: ✅ A loving home with older kids or adults ✅ Someone who will continue his training and help him grow ✅ A family who appreciates a dog who loves deeply and enthusiastically ✅ A yard where he can lounge, explore and find the perfect stick ✅ Patient and consistent people who understand that great dogs just keep getting better Metro is not just a dog — he is a loyal, fun, loving and absolutely joyful companion who will bring endless happiness into the right home every single day. This sweet smaller sized Pittie with the biggest heart around is sitting right there waiting for his person to come along and say "yes, Metro — you are exactly what I was looking for." Is Metro your perfect match? If you loved Metro's story please consider ❤️ liking, sharing and spreading the word to help this wonderful boy find his forever home! ✨ Adoption fee: $375, includes first 2 DAPP, bordetella, sterilized, heartworm test, dewormed, flea preventative, microchip
