DEACON - PIT BULL TERRIER / AMERICAN STAFFORDSHIRE TERRIER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / American Staffordshire Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 600. Meet Deacon, a one-year-old bundle of energy with a heart full of love! This playful pup thrives when he’s with other dogs—especially if there’s a good wrestling match involved. In his foster home, he’s been doing great with crate training and has had no accidents. He’s fairly quiet, though he’ll need a sturdy kennel since he’d much rather be out joining the fun. Found as a stray and never reclaimed, Deacon hasn’t let that dim his joyful spirit. He’s incredibly affectionate, always eager to be close to his people, and his goofy antics are guaranteed to make you smile. On top of that, he’s a quick learner who’s picking up new routines with ease. With his adventurous streak and playful energy, Deacon would love a family that enjoys activity and fun as much as he does. And when it’s time to settle down, his sweet, loving nature shines through, melting hearts the moment you meet him. He’s ready to find his forever family—one that will embrace both his silly side and his affectionate heart. Take a look at this adorable video of Deacon running and playing in the yard! Deacon is from a local impound. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.
