Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier (medium coat). Hi, I'm Rocko! I ended up at the shelter on 03/15/2024 because my previous owners couldn't take care of me anymore. But I'm ready for a fresh start! I've been neutered, microchipped, and I'm all caught up on my vaccinations. I'm a happy pup who loves to give big smiles to everyone I meet. Playing is my favorite pastime, whether it's with toys or chasing after a ball. I'm friendly, energetic, and ready to be a loyal companion to a loving family. If you're looking for a playful buddy who will fill your days with joy, let's meet soon! We strongly recommend calling the shelter between 11am and 4pm to discuss more details about my background with our behavior team!

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.
