Ocho was found tied to a fence in Fall River and is looking for his forever home

Meet Fall River Forever Paws Pet of the Week Ocho!

Is cable getting too expensive? Consider adopting Ocho! Who needs cable OR dish when you have a dog with his own satellite dishes built in?

Ocho is a young guy at around two years old and weighs a little over fifty pounds. This boy was, unfortunately, found tied to the fence at the shelter and they have no idea where he came from or who he belonged to. No one ever called or came forward, so now he’s looking for his forever home.

He’s a friendly, outgoing boy that will never say no to love or attention. He does well with other dogs but he’s afraid of cats so Forever Paws would prefer a home without any feline friends. They would also prefer any children in the home be older, at least 12-13yo+, because Ocho does flinch with quick, sudden movements or loud noises. Sometimes even slow movements make him flinch, so it will be a learning curve for everyone until he adjusts and gets comfortable. His background is a mystery, obviously, and FP doesn’t like to speculate, but all they have to go on is his reaction to certain things.

Because he’s a pit bull, you must own your own home or live in a home owned by a family member in order to adopt him.

He’s a big personality all smooshed down into a compact little body with even smaller legs. His smile is infectious, and he loves nothing more than body slamming himself into your lap and covering your face in kisses.
