Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier. RICH STRIKE - 3 years old, 60 pounds, nervous but will warm up to you Rich Strike ended up behind bars at VBACAC when he arrived as a stray with a canine companion. He has been super nervous behind the bars, not really inviting for anyone but he is slowly letting down his walls. I let a caretaker get him and we walked outside together where he turned into a different dog. He ran around playfully and approached me for treats easily. He sniffed around and it was only outside when he started to smile. Rich Strike didn't do too much playing but was def curious about his new surroundings. He has deep grey fur with a white chest, belly, paws, and face. He also has a touch of white at the tip of his tail. Although he came in with another dog, we do not know if he is otherwise dog friendly so we will update when we learn more. Rich Strike is currently in a back kennel so if you come in to meet him 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.
