Jupiter is a pure bred bull terrier with all the fun and challenges that breed provides.

He is about 3-years-old and is house trained. Jupiter likes to play with other dogs and would like to meet any that are already in your family. He has lived with children and cats.

Bull terriers are fun, comical, people-loving dogs, and have lots of energy. They can be a bit independent and stubborn, and the shelter suggests that potential adopters research their personality traits before considering adopting Jupiter.

Jupiter is neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. He is at the El Dorado County Animal Services shelter in Meyers, along with many other dogs and cats who are waiting for their new homes. Go online to see photos and description of all pets at the shelter.
