Description
Dog Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier (short coat). IRELAND is a four-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier who, likes so many others, was a victim of the pandemic. Found tied to a fence in Philadelphia. When she was six months old, she was deprived of early socialization and, as a result, is unsure in public settings and meeting new people. She is reactive with other dogs, but she did have a Pomeranian friend when she was a puppy so possibly she could be acclimated to a calm male dog in the future but currently we are recommending her as the only pet in an adult-only household. Ireland is an athlete! She can run and run and run for miles. Every car ride leads to adventure and she will readily jump in and ride shotgun. Once you’re in her circle, you are golden. Ireland has been spayed, vaccinated, tested negative for Heartworms and has been microchipped. We hope to keep her within comfortable driving range, so that there can be several meetings and a home visit leading up to the Adoption. Adoption $200. Please fill out an application at panimals if you are the active family that Ireland is looking for.

Overview:
The American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) is a robust and intelligent breed, originating in the United States from crossbreeding Old English Terriers and Old English Bulldogs for dog-fighting purposes. Physically, they are medium-sized, known for their muscular build, broad heads, and powerful jaws, typically weighing between 30-60 pounds. Their coats are short and come in a wide array of colors. Temperamentally, a well-socialized APBT is often described as loyal, affectionate, and people-oriented, displaying a playful and sometimes clownish demeanor. They can be excellent family companions, provided they receive consistent training and early socialization, though their high energy levels mean they thrive with active owners. While they can adapt to apartment living with sufficient exercise, a house with a secure yard is often preferred. Notable health considerations include a predisposition to hip and elbow dysplasia, allergies, and certain heart conditions.
