At just 11 months old and 65 pounds, this brindle pittie mix is all heart, curiosity, and playful puppy energy. He’s growing into his big paws, already proving to be a sweet and smart companion. Wiggly and eager to learn: Ferdinand is working on his leash skills and making great progress. On a recent field trip, he pulled with excitement for the first few minutes, then settled into a relaxed, loose-leash walk. He responds well to gentle guidance. People-loving: Ferdinand adores human attention and loves to cuddle up beside his people. He’s wonderfully social, calmly greeting everyone from sprinting kids to seniors with walkers, always with a wagging tail. Smart and motivated: This pup already knows “sit” and “down,” and takes treats politely. Squeaky toys are his absolute favorite. He’ll chase them with glee and proudly carry them around like trophies. Dog-social and playful: Ferdinand enjoys playgroups and engages in gentle play with compatible canine friends. He can thrive as a solo dog or with a well-matched dog buddy. Ferdinand would do well in a home that offers structure, positive reinforcement, and plenty of affection. He’s ready to be your playful, loyal best friend!           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Alison & Dennis Campbell (@adoptables_oas)
