Nick - American Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (medium coat) Dog For Adoption

View more

ful and cautious, but with patience, consistency, and lots of love, his true personality has truly blossomed. Today, Nick adores extra attention and has built wonderful trust with shelter staff. While he may still be a little shy when first meeting new people, his growing confidence shines— and we expect him to continue thriving in a home environment. Nick has a medium energy level and strikes a lovely balance between playtime and cuddle time. He lives for snuggles and all the scratches he can get, but he also has a BIG love for toys. Watching him discover toys for the first time was incredibly heartwarming. He especially enjoys carrying stuffies around and playing a gentle game of keep-away. This good boy has nice manners and appears to have some basic training under his belt. He walks well on a leash, is likely potty trained, and knows the cues “sit” and “shake.” If he jumps up and is asked to get down, he’s happy to listen. Nick prefers being with his people and can feel a little sad in his kennel at times, so continued crate training may help him feel more secure and confident when resting on his own. Nick has become anxious in the shelter and it is resulting in irritation towards some other dogs. Barky or rambunctious dogs are making him anxious! Though previously he had an easy-going demeanor when around the other dogs, we still want to ensure we set Nick up for success! We encourage a dog meet and greet prior to adopting to ensure Nick will enjoy having your current dog as a friend. Since Nick came to us as a stray, we don’t know if he has lived with children or other animals, but with proper introductions, patience, and stability, we anticipate he would do well! Nick is truly such a good boy and is ready for a fresh start with a loving family of his own.
