Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier. VENUS - 3 years old, 38 pounds, friendly, playful, dog social/tolerant, crate trained, potty trained, good with older kids, vocal. Venus is a gorgeous light and dark brown brindle beauty who arrived originally July of 2024 surrendered when her owners were moving and couldn't take her with them. Venus has found her way back to us after her new owner surrendered her due to work schedule changing. Poor girl can't catch a break. She is almost petite with her thin body frame and shorter stature. Her previous owners state she is afraid of rain and thunder storms! Venus is easy to meet and easy to introduce to new people. She is active and seems to enjoy the company of other dogs. She is more of a gentle girl who will chase other dogs and is ok when they chase her. If they get too rough or move suddenly, she will get vocal. We also noticed when other dogs got too rough with each other, she would run to and give her growl of disapproval as if telling the rowdy dogs to chill out. So funny! Bring in any resident dog for a meet and greet and please be prepared for supervision. Come on in to meet this pretty girl. If you don't see her right away, 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.
