Beamer is a charming male pit bull terrier puppy staying at Last Hope K9 Rescue.
Beamer plays well with others — he'll get along great with cats and dogs. Beamer has been vaccinated.
Here's what Beamer's friends at Last Hope K9 Rescue think of him:
Beamer was brought to a local animal hospital for treatment of Parvo. He was then abandoned by his owner. He loves his person and will be a near constant shadow. A dog sibling who will not be offended by his rough play style would be ideal. He is mostly house trained and mostly crate trained.
