Pet Connection: Meet Ames

FARGO — He’s exactly the color of dark chocolate, and little Ames the chocolate lab-pit bull cross really couldn’t be sweeter.

He’s a bundle of kisses, snuggles, wiggles and hugs, and at five months old, he’s already ahead of the pack with his potty-training and new people skills.

He gets along well with other dogs, loves all kinds of people, and while Homeward Animal Shelter volunteers haven’t had a chance to test his cat skills yet, they think he’d be pretty excited to have a cat to play with.

Ames came to the shelter by way of the pound, and so while they don’t have much information on his past, they put his age at about five months.

That means that’s he’s still very much a puppy, and as a larger breed, he likely won’t reach full maturity until he’s closer to two years old.

As you can see, Ames is somewhat underweight, so given that he’s at a critical stage of development, his new family should make sure he puts on some healthy weight when they bring him home.

If this little sweetie is the right boy for you, check out his profile, here, and don’t forget to take a look at the upcoming Pawject Runway fundraiser happening August 12th at Brewhalla.
