Meet Porkchop
Last Hope Animal Rescue lists Porkchop as male "American Bulldog / American Staffordshire Terrier" in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He is around 7 years old and has 60 pounds of personality. Porkchop can be a vocal dog, and he will talk and grumble at you to let you know what he's thinking.
Porkchop is seeking a super stable home with an experienced dog owner. Porkchop will need to be your only dog in the home, or possibly paired with a very docile and confident larger female dog. Pushy or over friendly dogs don't mesh well with his personality. No kids or cats for Porkchop, please!
He can be somewhat standoffish with new people or situations. Last Hope requires that potential adopters' current animals be altered, current on vaccinations and preventatives, and be kept as indoor pets only. The adoption process includes reference and background checks, a vet check and a home visit.
He loves to be with his person. He can be your couch potato partner if you bribe him with belly rubs. He can also be your backyard companion, helping to rid the yard of birds and squirrels (and tennis balls, too!).
Porkchop is super food motivated, so it was easy to train him to sit, and his people know he'll do great learning lots of other new commands.
Porkchop's adoption fee is $250. It includes his neuter, microchip and current vaccinations and preventatives, plus a free basic obedience course at Cedar Run Company in Hiawatha.
Please submit an adoption application for consideration through the website. To ask about Porkchop or start an application, contact Last Hope Animal Rescue.
