I don't have a history with dogs, but bring your dog down to meet with me to see how we get along. I find cats a little TOO interesting, so it's best to keep them away. Due to my personality, I'm a better fit for homes with older children/adults.

Nipsy is a charming male pit bull terrier mix staying at Sacramento SPCA.

He is already neutered.

Nipsy is an excitable 8-month-old pup who is always looking for the next thing to do. This young lad would love to join you on trips to the park, hikes, runs and more. Due to his size and personality, he would be a better fit for homes with teens/adults.
