Warrick Brown Ferreira

Just over a year ago, Warrick found our home through a Petfinder.org advertisement and we were fortunate enough to be able to adopt him. Warrick is a Chocolate Labrador/American Pit Bull mix which gives him good energy and just a wonderful temperament. About the only thing which upsets my best friend is being separated from his pack - he's just a very social guy.

Warrick loves daily walks either on the leash or on the treadmill (yes, really!) but his favorite thing in the world is a plain, green tennis ball. He doesn't care if you're throwing the ball hundreds of feet with a Chuck-It or just tossing it into the air to catch, that tennis ball is the best thing in the world, and life is just about the greatest if one of his 20 or so tennis balls is nearby.

Warrick loves everyone and I've only had him react to a very stressed and anxious dog once. Mostly, Warrick just wishes to find someone to run and play with. Our existing senior dog, Kujo is simply too old to play with a year old youngster, so just a few months ago, we adopted a young APT we named Zoey. Warrick was so gentle and caring while Zoey was integrating into the home. It was amazing to see the care he would use with her when teaching her the art of the tug-rope or chase. She's bigger than the pictures show now, so the play is a little less careful, but they have become best friends. I attribute this mostly to my wonderful boy Warrick.

I want to thank SPOT for the great work they are doing, especially with the bully breeds. Warrick, Zoey and Kujo are all amazing representatives of the Pit Bull community, and each was a rescue! How cool is that? If it were not for SPOT and other great rescue organizations, our family would not have great furry friends to share our lives with.

Sincerely,
John Ferreira and family
