Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier. MARLOW - 3 years old, 61 pounds, house trained, Marlow was a nervous boy behind the cage bars. He barked and raised cain when anyone walked by. Slowly but surely he is letting his guard down and starting to trust staff. I met him outside and he approached me like it was nothing! He allowed me to pet him as well. Very sweet boy! He seems dog tolerant and was fine with the other dogs he met in playgroup. He actually seemed to have fun running and chasing with them. *Please remember we test our dogs and provide constant supervision. Marlow is one who reacts to new people, though, and might need time warming up to others. *You know them as family and friends…he does not! Marlow is playful and loves all kinds of toys. His smile will light up your day! His companionship will light up your life! Marlow is currently in a back kennel so if you come in and don’t see him, please just ask!

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.
