Description
Dog Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier (medium coat). Boomerang is an adventure guy- check out these notes from a volunteer: We had a great time with Boomerang on a hike around Lake Needwood (5 miles), and then hanging out on a nice autumn day. Below is a summary of what we learned about Boomerang! He is good-natured, enthusiastic and adventurous pup who is a pleasure to be with. His tail is always wagging, and his energy is contagious! He enjoys a long hike where he can experience the sights, sounds, and (especially!) scents of the woods and fields. Crossing a stream? Jumping over a log? Boomerang says âBring it!â But he is equally happy to take a rest break on a bench or a blanket, leaning in to his humans, observing the activity around him, and returning pets and back scratches with lots of kisses! Boomerang appears to know some basic commands like âSitâ and âComeâ and responds well to treats. During walks, he is very well-mannered when it comes to passing other dogs and humans â curious but not insistent on meeting. When taking new paths, he might set a brisk pace because heâs eager to explore. Boomerang would be a great fit for an active person or family â give him love and time to learn, and in return youâll get a loyal and devoted companion.

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.
