Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier. ARIEL - 1-5 years old, 55 pounds, friendly, dog social It took Ariel only one hot minute to drop the stiff hesitant persona after he entered our shelter playgroup and allowed others to sniff him. He then started running, chasing and playing with the others. Ariel arrived at VBACAC as a stray so we are learning as we go with this big strong boy who has the brightest of bright white and darkest of dark black fur. He has a sweet warm expression, deep dark eyes and inviting body wiggles. He loves attention from you or another dog. He plays well although he does love a good chase and tackle! He rolled Peaches over a few times! So silly! Ariel is hanging in our medium dog adoption kennel waiting to meet you!

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.
