MEET THE CHAMP!

Champ absolutely MUST go to a home that already has dogs. Multiple dogs preferred! He needs the comfort and confidence of having other dogs around, no exceptions. He will be an amazing pack member!

This precious pittie boy has the cutest black and white coat that is velvety soft—just perfect for petting! He is a great medium size at barely 50lbs and roughly 2 years old.

This poor boy was found, with many other dogs, in an abandoned home in the Flint area. Thankfully, a group of rescuers saved him and his companions from this nightmare and went straight to work vetting and caring for them. Champ was moved into our rescue in order to get some more one-on-one socialization and evaluation that he wasn't able to receive in a shelter environment....and we're so glad he came!

Things Champ is great at:
Being handsome!
Going potty outside.
Playing with toys and keeping himself occupied.
Making friends with other dogs.
Cuddling and wanting affection from people he loves!
Taking treats so sweet and gentle!
Having fun and being playful when you want him to be, but more than willing to be a couch potato when playtime is done!

Things Champ needs to work on:
Champ LOVES other dogs, but would prefer to be fed separately and not have his food messed with by others. Same goes for a bone he’s invested in!
Anxiousness in new situations. Champ likes the familiarity and comfort of home, and gets quite shy of new places and people.
Meeting new people: Champ has the capacity to love everybody, but he is slow to warm up and trust new people, especially men. He HAS NOT displayed any sort of aggression, just shyness/avoidance and some barking. Once Champ knows you and trusts you, he will be attached at the hip and will reward your patience with unconditional companionship!

Due to Champ's shyness with new people, his adoption process may be a bit more drawn-out than usual. He should be given the opportunity to meet with his potential family several times before an adoption can occur. If you're interested in adopting this sweet boy, please be prepared to give him the patience and understanding he deserves.
