At the Shelter Longer than Any Dog, Pluto Is Ready for His Disney Ending
PET OF THE WEEK: Pluto, a playful mix, has been waiting for a loving family longer than any other pup at the Pasadena Humane Society.
Pluto, a 6-year-old pit bull mix, is out-of-this-word adorable, and he's available for adoption now at the Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA.
Pluto has watched every other pup at the shelter adopted out while he waits forever-home, perfecting his manners and earning a Blue Ribbon from the shelter's behavior staff. At the shelter since June - longer than any other dog - pluto contents himself squeaky toys, his favorite thing next to snuggling up close for some love and affection, according to shelter staff.
"This neutered male, black and white pit bull mix enjoys exploring on walks and absolutely loves playtime, especially if it involves a new squeaky toy," according to shelter officials. "There’s nothing he enjoys more than tossing a toy around before snuggling up close for some love and affection. Pluto has mastered his sit, down and stay cues, earning him a Blue Ribbon from our behavior staff and reducing his adoption fee to just $100. From his friendly smile to his loving personality, this dog has it all – except for a forever home. Will it be yours?"
