Meet Jenko

Meet Jenko, a 1-year-old Terrier, an American Pit Bull Mix. ❤️ This sweet boy is not only great with kids, but he absolutely loves them! Jenko’s gentle and affectionate nature makes him the perfect furry friend for families looking for a loyal companion.

While Jenko may enjoy lounging around and being lazy, don’t let his relaxed demeanor fool you – he’s also a big sweetheart at heart. 🛋️💕 Despite his size and bold appearance, Jenko is a gentle giant who loves nothing more than cuddling up with his favorite humans.

Whether it’s playing in the backyard or curling up on the couch, Jenko will be by your side, ready to offer love and companionship.

Jenko will need an indoor home and a secure containment area to stay safe from wandering and escaping. Positive reinforcement, fear-free training will be needed. Daily exercise and mental enrichment will be very important. If you have other dogs in your home, we would be happy to arrange a meet and greet with your dog(s) to make sure everyone gets along.
