Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier (short coat). Dustin is a senior with the mind and personality of a puppy; always curious, happy, and hungry. This sweet senior would prefer to be the center of someone's world as the only dog but can co-exist with other dogs with compatible personalities. Dustin loves nothing more than a good chew toy and comfy bed. He would prefer to sleep in with you and binge watch Netflix than to get up for an early morning run. Waking up this guy before he's ready is impossible; he lives for comfy spots and sleep. Dustin does require a special diet to keep his skin and coat looking top notch and keep his allergies under control. He is currently in a foster home and his foster is happy to tell potential adopters the food regimen that has worked best for him. Dustin is excellent about eating his fruits and veggies as his treats include carrots, apples, celery, and cucumbers. Dustin is already potty trained and crate trained so he's ready to be an excellent cuddle buddy and companion.

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.
