Description
Posted Breed: Pit Bull Terrier (short coat). Meet our very own seal, Neil! He came to us from a local shelter after being found as a stray. Neil is truly a dream dog. He is playful and energetic, but knows how to sleep and cuddle when the time is right. He doesn't mind being left alone, and is very food motivated, so he has been good at training. Neil has never met someone he doesn't like, and loves to crawl into any open laps (much like a cat!). He likes other dogs, but can live alone as well. He enjoys a long walk followed by a good cuddle session, after which he loves to settle in for a snooze. Watch Neil's story here: .instagram/reel/C2szsiIJak1/?igsh=ejJqc2kycXV5a3R2 Neil was rescued with dental issues and is in need of surgery. In lieu of an adoption fee, we would be thrilled for a potential adopter to provide a larger adoption donation and/or assistance crowdsourcing funds towards their necessary vet bills if possible.

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.
