Description
Posted Breed: Pit Bull Terrier (short coat). When we found Dixie she had almost no hair. Her skin was horribly infected and painful. With baths and medications she is now well under control and pretty easy to maintain. She will need continued care to not end up with issues again as there are likely underlying allergies involved. She’s easy to treat and takes her baths well. Dixie is in a foster home with other dogs and cats. She is a great dog! She gets a little too attached to her person and con sometimes not want to share that person but it is trainable. She’s a smart girl and listens well. She does not like to be in trouble. If you would like to meet this darling girl please email or text us. You can also fill out an application at .carmaoc

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.
