Description

Posted Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier / Staffordshire Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 375. Introducing TROY, a very handsome Pit Bull Terrier mix who is around 2-3 years of age and weighs about 45 pounds. We ran a DNA test for Troy and he is a mixture of American Pit Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Terrier, Rottweiler, and "Supermutt". Troy is an active dog who requires daily walks, and would continue to benefit from going for runs a couple times a week. Troy is a very loving dog who wants to snuggle and be close to his foster family. He lives with two medium/small dogs and a female Pit Bull mix, as well as two children under the age of 13; he gets along with the other dogs but doesn't "need" another dog to be happy. Troy loves playing frisbee, chasing his tennis ball, or playing with his rope toy in the fenced yard. In addition, he absolutely loves going on walks - which he currently gets twice a day. Troy walks nicely in general but can become reactive when he sees another dog. He has been placed on anti-anxiety medication attended an 8 week training class for reactive dogs, which he did well in. Troy is a smart dog who learns quickly and now knows commands like sit, shake, down, and stay. For inside the home, Troy does best in a calmer home. Troy needs a patient slow introduction with new people and new dogs because he cautious, and can be protective of the family; however, once he get to know a person, he loves them unconditionally. Troy's adopter will need to be a knowledgeable prior dog owner who can be a leader for Troy. He is approved for households with adults only or adults with older teens. This dog has been examined by a licensed veterinarian, provided inoculations against diseases, been tested for heartworm disease, neutered, and microchipped.
