Pullman is a lovable, playful dog in need of a second chance at a forever home. Born at the Manassas City Animal Adoption Center in August 2021, Pullman was one of ten siblings and was adopted when he was just three months old. Recently, he was found as a stray in Fairfax County, and despite efforts to contact his previous owner, no one has come forward to claim him.
We know that Pullman’s mother was a boxer, and DNA tests from his littermates reveal he also has Cane Corso in his lineage. He’s a big, affectionate pup with plenty of energy and love to give. If you’re looking for a fun, goofy, and playful companion, Pullman could be the perfect fit for your family!
