Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier (short coat). LEANA - 7-8 years old, 40 pounds, nervous in the shelter. After arriving at VBACAC as a stray Leana was in rather rough shape. After some much needed TLC, she is doing well. Leana has grey and white fur with dark spots all over the grey part. She has a tilt in her head with unknown origins and some worn teeth indicating she's not a young pup but also not a senior. Leana is a bit on the thin side but overall healthy and happy. She is now spayed as well. Yay! She is very reactive to the other dogs around her in the shelter so it might be best Leana be an only pet. If we learn otherwise, we will update this bio. Leana was friendly and easy to handle when outside of the kennel and away from other dogs. She defaults to a really nice SIT and her paw comes up almost immediately. She's def used to giving her paw for a treat or two, which she loves. Leana is still getting used to the shelter environment. When she enters a new home, she might also need some time getting used to a new home, family and routine. Give her time and attention and you'll surely see a loving and fun girl who just wants to be at your side. We are open daily 12-5 pm. Leana is currently in our medium dog adoption kennel. Come on in and meet her!

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.
