Alex is a 2-year-old pittie mix weighing in a 73 lbs, with a big heart and an even bigger love for playtime and making friends. He’s a sweet, loving boy who is both crate trained and housebroken.

Alex thrives in a home with medium to large dogs, as he loves to romp around with buddies his size. However, because he has a high prey drive, a home without cats would be best. He’s a quick learner, picking up commands fast, though he can be a little cautious with new experiences. Since he’s a big, strong guy, older kids would be a better fit for him.

A fenced-in yard would be ideal so he can get plenty of exercise. And let’s not forget—his brindle coat is absolutely stunning in person! Pictures don’t do justice to his gorgeous, intricate markings.

If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate companion, Alex might just be your perfect match!
