Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier (short coat). **If you have any questions about King after reading his profile, you can contact a volunteer at 757-237-2430 who can answer your questions.** Meet King ❤️ This super sweet boy has been at the shelter OVER TWO YEARS! :( King was surrendered to the shelter in 2023 when his owner was moving. He lived his entire life outside, never receiving vet care, and has now spent the last year in the shelter so he has never been loved as part of a family. King lived with another dog in the past, but would prefer to be the only pet in his new home. He is described as loyal & protective with his family and absolutely loves to give kisses. King is about 5 years old and would likely do well with older children. He does great in the car, loves listening to music, & enjoys chicken nuggets ❤️ He is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, & heartworm negative so he can go home right away! His adoption fee is only $1! You do NOT need to live in Virginia Beach to adopt or foster! Available for adoption, foster, or rescue at Virginia Beach Animal Care & Adoption Center 341 South Birdneck Road, VB Open daily 12-5 pm Field Trip Update: King did great! He was easy to get into my truck. He sat there calmly on the ride and was easy to get out. He behaved at the drive thru and politely waited while I shared my chicken with him. He did drink my tea sitting in the cupholder before I could stop him. He has such an intense look, but he's really gentle, and it's safe to feed him with your fingers.

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.
