Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier (medium coat). Please contact foster at lashleydunc11aol Tucker is a sweet boy once he gets to know you. He did start out as a very terrified and emaciated puppy in the shelter. It has taken time to get him back into shape and to feeling more confident. He still has some ways to go and will need a patient owner who is willing to continue working with a trainer. Tucker is VERY food motivated but a bit hard headed (figuratively and literally lol). He loves dogs and cats. He also likes children but due to behavior he still is working on, he should go to a home with no young children. He lives to play and to roll in the mud; thankfully he is a wonderfully bath taker! He will hop into the tub on command! He is potty trained and as long as he has plenty of toys, non-destructive. He is also crate trained.

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.
