About Cootie (Bull Terrier) in San Jose, CA 95111

Cootie is waiting for you at San Jose Animal Care Center in San Jose, CA 95111. 05/12/26 14:44 from foster:Cootie is an energetic, sweet, and silly girl. She loves running in open fields, rolling in the grass, and playing tug-o-war. She does have one bite on record as a result from play. While I tried to grab a stick to play fetch, Cootie got too eager and accidently bit my hand in an attempt to grab the stick. The bite did break skin. Regardless, she is not an aggressive dog. Her bark may seem intimidating, but she is just scared of the world. When I first met Cootie, she did not make eye contact and tried to avoid my pets. After four hours in my house and a new toy, she opened up and showed her real self! If you are patient and provide a gentle and loving environment, she will be a loyal companion. She would thrive in a quiet and patient household who will take her on outings in low-distraction environments to show her the world isn't that scary.She is reactive to cats and small mammals. She is dog selective. It is best to introduce her to one dog at a time in a controlled environment and avoid dog parks. Although she plays well with most dogs, Cootie prefers to be the only dog in her house. She wants all the pets and attention to herself! She is trainable. In 6 weeks, I taught her how to sit, lie down, leave it, and was working on roll over. She also improved on her leash behavior. 04/03/26 09:40From the foster:Meet Cootie, a `small but mighty` sweetheart who is officially ready for her forever home!
