Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier (medium coat). A perfectly schmedium princess! Melanie enjoys hanging out with dogs and people but likes to get to know new friends a little bit first. She'd love to hang at home or go on adventures together. Fair warning⦠she can be a bit of a Houdini! Being left alone isnât her thingâshe may be small but she can scale a big fence when you're not looking. Sheâs got big âcanât be containedâ energy for such a baby girl. We love her free spirit, but she needs a home with humans who will help keep her safe! Melanie is lovely to walk on leash, and sheâs done well with lots of dogs here. She's even been buddied up with a few to share a kennel at the shelter. So, if you have other large dogs that would like a fur-sister, we think she would be happy to share your attention with them, but she'd prefer a home without young human siblings! vcanimalservices A perfectly schmedium princess!

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.
