Dorito, shar-pei mix

Dorito is a sweet male shar-pei mix currently housed at the Humane Society of El Paso.

Fear not: He's already house-trained, neutered and vaccinated.

Dorito's current caretakers say:

He is a little timid upon meeting new people, so children should be supervised since you can help them understand boundaries while he adjusts to the new household. Once he does warm up, he is all about bouncing around like a bunny while he runs around chasing a ball with you. He is still a big puppy at heart and needs someone to help him see that the world isn't so scary.
