Oh Archie! This 1.5-year-old Pit Bull mix (36–75 lbs) arrived as a stray on 9/8/25 and is not yet neutered. With his sweet tan and white coat and soulful brown eyes, Archie is as handsome as he is tender-hearted. Shelter life has been confusing and scary for him—he often carries a ball in his mouth like a pacifier for comfort. Though cautious about leaving his kennel and sometimes pancaking during walks, he shows how soft and sweet he truly is once he feels safe.
Why He’s the Ultimate Gentle Soul
🐾 Just 1.5 years old, with a lifetime of love ahead
🧸 Carries his ball everywhere like a comfort toy
💖 Sweet, affectionate, and loves gentle petting
🐶 Still puppy-like in his softness and innocence
🌟 Sure to blossom once he’s in a calm, loving home
What He’s Looking For
