Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier (medium coat). Hey, I'm Drake! Life took a twist when I wandered in as a stray on 08/04/2023. But here's the thing â I'm ready to find my forever home! I've got some perks â neutered, microchipped, and vaccinations all set. While I might be a bit nervous and shy initially, give me a chance to warm up, and you'll see my sweet side shine. I'm all about making new friends and sharing cuddles once I feel comfy. If you're seeking a furry companion who'll be by your side through thick and thin, I'm your dog. Ready to start this journey together?

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.
