Cae (Courtesy Listing-Dog is NOT at the Shelter) Pit Bull Terrier Butte, MT

Alcaeus, or Cae (pronounced Cai), is a greek name meaning “strength”, and he is that. His strength of presence is incredible and he’s got a heart the size of a small planet. Cae is goofy and loves to make snarfing noises while he zooms around the yard - he sounds like a gremlin. Cae is an 80 lb bully breed born in 2016, neutered and microchipped. Cae has been severely mistreated in the past and has hearing loss because of head trauma – he is not deaf by any means, but his hearing is slightly diminished which makes hand signals a more clear route for obedience cueing. Cae is a big strong puppy-at-heart which makes a home without children or other animals his ideal situation – he is not good with cats and is choosy about other dogs. He needs someone who is also strong, firm and loving, willing to set boundaries, and capable of exercising him at least a couple times per week. He loves walks and is good on-leash. Cae’s favorite time of day is snack time and he prefers apples and bananas – the whole thing. He has explicitly requested not to go live with anyone who only shares small bites (as an aside, I have yet to find any type of food he doesn’t like. He eats lettuce if it falls on the floor). This dog would benefit from continued training to keep his mind stimulated, although it wouldn’t be necessary as he has fantastic house manners. He is very trainable and loves to work with his human. Cae has great house manners, is crate trained and potty trained – it seems like he can hold his bladder forever. He loves to snuggle on the couch or go for a walk or hike. He has never offered to jump or climb a fence and prefers a home with a fenced yard. Cae would not hesitate to protect his person if need be. He’s extremely loyal. His cues include the following: sit, down, come, crawl, no, wait, ok, kennel. Cae is very good with respectful children – but he's not what I would call a kid's dog. He takes joint supplements and is on a very clean, high quality kibble along with raw meat in the evenings.

Cae is located in Dillon, MT, with 11th House Rescue, Inc.
