Bagel

My story

Meet Bagel: Your New Best Friend! Bagel is the happiest pup you’ll ever meet, with a personality that will melt your heart. He is a blend of Carolina Dog/American Staffy that is almost 3 years old. His tail never stops wagging, he is just that excited about life! This big, lovable boy craves companionship, always eager to please with a big, goofy smile on his face. Whether you are looking for an adventure buddy or a couch companion, Bagel is up for both! He loves going on walks, getting the zoomies in the backyard, and curling up in cozy blankets for a movie night. At 102 pounds, he is working on shedding a few extra holiday pounds with plenty of exercise. Bagel is crate trained, potty trained, and has been working hard at training camp to refine his skills for a smooth transition into his forever home. Despite having diminished vision from a head injury as a puppy, he navigates life with confidence, occasionally bumping into things in new environments but adapting quickly. With proper introductions and management, Bagel could do well with another dog his size. He attends doggy daycare weekly, where he enjoys making friends and playing with his buddies. However, he is not suited for a home with cats, as he will chase them if they run. While Bagel loves children, he would do best in a home with older kids who understand boundaries. He has shown some resource guarding with food and toys, which can be managed with separate feeding areas and supervised playtime. He also experiences occasional excitement urination when meeting new people or in new places, but a male wrap can help in those situations. Bagel needs a family committed to continuing his socialization and training to help him thrive. If you adopt him, you can even take over his Facebook page, Not So Little Bagel Bites!
