Wallaby is a 4 or 5-year-old Presa Canario/pit mix who is a big fan of cuddling, playing tug of war, belly rubs, puzzles and taking walks through nature. Wallaby gets along great with his foster dog brothers and is also great with people, but needs a little time to warm up first. He would do best in a home with equal parts love and structure.
