Pet of the Month

Bryson

Breed: Pit bull mix
Gender: Male
Age: 9 months



Training Skills: Bryson knows the commands Sit and Lay Down, and loves to learn new skills. He also responds well to snacks. “All Bryson needs to do is smell a snack and his butt’s on the ground,” says CAS Animal Trainer Trish Matarese.

Favorite Pastimes: Bryson plays fetch all by himself. He throws stuffed animals up into the air then runs after them. He also likes to splash around in the kiddy pool and puddles of rain.

Ideal Home: He is is curious and energetic and needs a big yard to play in. He’s great with older kids and will be loyal!

What Staffers Say: “We love him, and we’re not the only ones. Even staffers who don’t work in the room where he stays will come and spend time with Bryson. He’s a strong, muscular dog, but loves to be held like a baby.”
