Pinto is a 3-year-old rat terrier mix with a calm, gentle demeanor and just the right amount of playful energy. He’s a chill little guy who loves to relax but can’t help getting excited when you are — he feeds off the happy energy around him! Pinto gets along wonderfully with adults, kids, and other dogs, making him a great fit for many types of homes. He’s especially motivated by his favorite treat — cheese! Just the sound of it coming out makes him light up, and he can even jump surprisingly high when he’s extra excited. While Pinto can be a little nervous or skittish when meeting new people, he warms up beautifully once he feels safe and loved. With a bit of patience and a lot of affection (and maybe a few cheese cubes), this sweet boy will be your loyal, loving companion. Pinto is from Texas.  This pet is currently undergoing treatment for heartworm disease. Activity must be restricted for several weeks during recovery. RSR will cover the full cost of treatment. RSR will provide heartworm preventatives until the retest is due. The adopter will be responsible for scheduling the retest and obtaining any follow-up prescriptions through their veterinarian.
