Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier (short coat). Mid is back... He arrived stray and unfortunately his owners never came for him.. :( MID- 5-8 YEARS OLD, 70LBS, GOOD WITH OLDER KIDS, ONLY PET, POTTY TRAINED, STAFF & VOLUNTEER FAVORITE!! Mid is a happy, active, friendly, wiggly boy. He has those short legs supporting that low riding barrel tummy. He has a swagger when he walks. He is inquisitive and curious. Mid loves walks and possibly jogging. He is an almost perfect loose leash walker until he sees a squirrel or a bird. He makes it pleasant to walk next to and pleasant to stop and give a quick treat. He also loves to run and play in a yard, always with a smile, I might add. Mid is good with other calm dogs from what we have seen so far, but prefers to live alone with no other pets! Foster Update! Mid would love a private yard that he can come and go in at will (with proper supervision of course). My yard is down a flight of stairs so not as “free roaming” as he might want. He refused to come inside until I got hot enough to insist. We can use the yard well but he would do well with one of those magnetic pet screens. He is doing better about not pulling when he is intrigued and walks very nicely on leash and must “patrol the perimeter” on his last walk before bed. He is playful listens well and has great manners. He is a pleasure! Such a great boy! VBACAC 341 S Birdneck Road, VB Open daily 12-5 pm.

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.
