Babylon Pet Of The Week: Pluto

BABYLON, NY — Pluto, a two-year-old fawn pit bull terrier, is Babylon Animal Shelter's Pet of The Week.

This sweet boy arrived at the shelter on February 2 as an owner surrender when his previous home felt he wasn't getting the care he needed, due to their long work hours.

Volunteers said that Pluto is a "strong boy" who will need a "dog-savvy leader" giving him structure and boundaries during his transition. He will need continued training to help him learn the rules and how to focus his excitement to make the best choices.

He may be recommended to be in an only dog home, but it is possible to be a good fit with the right female companion.

"Pluto knows his sit and shake paw commands, and he is well versed in learning with treats in hand" volunteers sai, and "has much love for the friends that spend time with him at the shelter.

Pluto doesn’t tolerate longer walks in the heat of the summer, but he does enjoy time in the pool and rolling in the grass.
