NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — This week’s Pet of the Week is a two-year-old American Pitbull Terrier Mix named Waffles.

Waffles gets his name from his coat — it’s a light brown color, just like the sweet, crisp batter cake people love to eat for brunch.

He loves to explore all the scents in the doggie play area, and loves hearing the sound of his name!

Waffles is described as a good-natured pup and is hoping to find his new forever companion and home.
