Dog Viciously Attacked by Coyotes Needs Forever Home in Utica/Rome

UPDATE 1/8/21: CJ has been adopted! Here's the happy family! Adopt don't shop!

His name is CJ, and he has lived through some horrendous moments, but thankfully he's now at the House of Paws Rescue in Utica, and together we're hoping to find him a wonderful home.

Cindy's Underdog is CJ, and he came to the House of Paws Rescue in Utica on September 11th. No one has shown much interest in him, and we don't understand why. He’s the sweetest, most playful 2-year-old pocket pit you’ll ever meet. He weighs in at 55 lbs. He’s a very short round guy. He came in with his twin brother (who got transferred to another rescue as they had someone interested in him).

CJ was bred to fight, but instead, was dumped and picked up as a stray. Don’t let his story scare you away because CJ would never fight. Coyotes actually attacked him before he landed in a high-kill shelter in Florida, and he didn't even try to protect himself. He's a lover, NOT a fighter.

CJ loves puppies and other dogs. He is very playful and has a lot of energy. He does tend to nip once in a while when playing, but he quickly gives kisses when redirected. This behavior can be easily fixed with a little time and consistency. He loves belly rubs, and his face is absolutely precious and will make you fall in love with him even more, every day.
