More about Beef Wellington*

Hi. I’m Beef Wellington. Yes, like the fancy dish. No, I will not be served with potatoes — but I will sit very nicely for treats. I’m a 4-year-old, 60-pound, beefy pit bull with a big block head and an even bigger heart. Animal control picked me up in St. Paul, and for a minute there it looked like my future involved a cement kennel and a chorus of yappy puppies. But then my foster family swooped in and busted me out so I could start my new career in rescue life. Let me tell you — living in a real home instead of on cold concrete? 10/10. Highly recommend. Foster Mom calls me “the sweetest blockhead,” and honestly… she’s not wrong. I’m what you might call a beefy Velcro ladies’ man. I love people. Did I mention I love people? Because I LOVE people. My favorite place in the entire world is wherever my humans are — sitting with them, laying on them, leaning on them, breathing the same air as them. If you move, I move. Congratulations, we are now a team. I like other dogs too! I’m a social guy. I just prefer they don’t try to eat my food. I mean… who likes sharing snacks? Let’s be reasonable. Cats? Absolutely not. In my professional opinion, they are chew toys with opinions. I’m house trained and potty trained — a true gentleman. When my foster family goes to a mysterious place called “work” (about 9 hours a day), I hang out in my kennel. I might bark at first to express my deep emotional disappointment about being left behind, but eventually I sigh dramatically and take a nap. Sometimes I get a little bored and look for something to chew, but give me a good bone and I’m golden. On walks, I can pull on the leash — I just get excited about life and want to see everything immediately. Car rides? Oh, I LOVE car rides. I show my appreciation by trying to be as physically close to you as possible the entire time. You’re welcome. I can be a little protective of my people — they’re my whole world, after all. My foster family thinks I’d do great with kids, especially dog-savvy ones. I’m a solid beefcake, so I might accidentally knock over someone very small just by loving them enthusiastically. Energy-wise, I’m moderately active — happy to go for walks and adventures — but I’m equally happy flopping on the floor for a nap with my humans. Truly, my favorite activity is simply being with you. Oh — one more thing about me. When I came into rescue, I had a broken foot that just wouldn’t heal. The vets tried their best, but in the end the foot had to go. So now I’m learning to live life as a tripod. Three legs, same big heart. And honestly? I’m doing great. I still walk, explore, cuddle, and live my best beefy life. It hasn’t slowed me down much — it just makes me a little more unique. So my daily routine looks something like this: Eat. Nap. Love my people. Repeat. And if you ask me… that’s a pretty perfect life. So… are you my forever?  Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Dental, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.
