This pit bull mix is just a ‘goofy, fun-loving girl’
Though she may look a bit scary, Takenoko is really just looking for someone to play with.
This is Takenoko, an affectionate four-year-old pit bull mix. Despite her intimidating appearance, she is actually a "big, goofy, fun-loving girl," according to an ARK insider. Weighing 20 kg, she is expected to grow only in size, not further, unless it's outward. Her name, Takenoko, is derived from the Japanese word for a young bamboo shoot, symbolizing her vibrancy, power, and potential for growth.
She is particularly fond of people and doesn't care much about other dogs. If you're willing to play, she'll consider you her best friend. If you're interested in adopting Takenoko, you can email ARK at [email protected] or call 050-1557-2763 (bilingual support available) Monday to Saturday for more information. Animal Refuge Kansai, an NPO founded by U.K. native Elizabeth Oliver, rescues and rehomes abandoned animals.
All animals in their care are vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. Prospective owners must pass a screening process.
