Whitaker

Description

Whitaker was originally surrendered in February 2026 with 6 littermates, when they were all only around 2 months old. Their owners were overwhelmed with too many dogs and several of these pups' relatives came through our shelter and were adopted over the past year, including their father, a purebred yellow lab. All of the dogs had great personalities! Whitaker was adopted and so were his siblings, and he lived in his home for 5 months, but a huge change in the family dynamic made it necessary for him to be returned to us on 11/7/2026. Whit is a pit bull/lab mix who is barely a year old and has already been vet checked, microchipped, and fully vaccinated. He just needs to be neutered before adoption and his fee is $150. Whitaker is large, happy, playful, and affectionate. He is still a young boy and might have some growing left to do. He lived with younger children and was great with them. He has done well with other dogs and coexisted peacefully with cats. He is a bit on the clumsy side as he's still technically a big puppy. He has had some training but would love to learn some new stuff. He's an all around good dog! NOTE:  Adoptions are done via private appointment once an application has been completed and approved. Applications must be submitted at our website, mchs.rescuegroups.org. We are located at 101 22nd St. SE in Austin, right next to the airport. It's exit 180B off of I-90, right off of 218 South. We do require that potential adopters be at least 21 years old and that any resident dogs be up to date on vaccinations, heartworm testing/preventatives, and spayed or neutered.
