Description
Dog Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier (medium coat). Meet Wilbur â MCASACâs Longest Resident, Still Waiting for His Forever Home! Wilbur has been patiently waiting for over a year to find his person, and we canât understand how this sweet, soulful boy keeps getting overlooked. In his foster home, Wilbur has proven to be a true gentlemanâheâs fully housetrained, sleeps soundly through the night, and is as polite as they come. Indoors, heâs calm and content to quietly stay closeânever clingy, just gently present. Heâs shy at first, but once youâve earned his trust, heâll show you his love with his signature âWilbur leanâ into your side and maybe even a gentle kiss or two. Wilbur gets along beautifully with his fosterâs dogs, though he prefers to relax near them rather than engage in play. His idea of a perfect day includes soaking up the sunshine in the yard, listening to birdsong, and watching for his feathered friends with total fascinationâheâs absolutely mesmerized by them! When itâs time for a walk, heâs great on leash in his harness and loves exploring, though youâll definitely notice when a squirrel or rabbit catches his eye. Described by his foster as âa weighted blanket with a wagging tail,â Wilbur is steady, soothing, and full of quiet warmth. Heâs considerate and patientânever one to rush ahead on the stairs or demand too much attention. He enjoys his chew toys, listens well, and has perfected the art of relaxation (with the occasional adorable snore). Wilbur has come such a long way from his rough beginnings and continues to blossom with time, love, and patience. Heâs ready to bring his calm, comforting energy to a forever home where he can feel safe, loved, and cherished. In return, he promises to fill your life with love, laughter, and the gentle rhythm of his wagging tail. See more photos of Wilbur here: tinyurl/AdoptMCASACWilbur

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.
