Dallas and Nova Bullmastiff & Pit Bull Terrier Mix Dixon, IL

Meet Dallas and Nova!

Two affectionate pals residing in Dixon, IL, each with their unique personality waiting to be discovered!

Dallas, a spirited Blue-Nosed Pitbull, 9 years old, but his zest for life rivals that of a playful puppy. Despite his exuberance, Dallas grapples with some anxiety.

Nova, a Bull Mastiff/Rottweiler mix, is gearing up for her 10th birthday on July 2nd. With a gentle demeanor, she exudes a sense of tranquility while still embracing her youthful enthusiasm, often cuddling up as if she were a lapdog, despite her imposing size.

While formal obedience training has not been a part of their journey, Dallas and Nova are proficient in essential commands such as sit, down, paw, up, high five, leave it, enough, and drop it. However, their personalities extend beyond these commands.

Dallas and Nova need a home without other small animals, especially cats, due to past incidents where they have harmed them—one recently and another several years ago. A family or individual who is dedicated, understanding, and experienced in managing complex canine behaviors would be ideal. They will also do best in a home with a fenced-in yard providing space for their adventures.

Dallas and Nova are friendly to strangers and in moments of solitude, both canines demonstrate resilience, although Dallas may experience anxiety during vet visits or car rides. It's essential to approach these situations with patience and understanding to alleviate his fears. Dallas and Nova weigh around 90 pounds and are up to date on their vaccinations and have been spayed and neutered.

To make sure that Dallas and Nova has a great start with their new family, we have a canine behaviorist available for a free consultation.
