Description
Dog Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier (medium coat). Star is a cute and fun lady who is ready to find a home of her own. She was surrendered with a limited history so we don't know much about her life before her arrival, but she has been active and playful with shelter staff. She has been very quick to pick up on training and we think with some practice she will become a well mannered lady. Star does seem to have a bit of a prey drive, so we are recommeding she not live with cats or small animals. She can be a bit rude meeting new dogs, but might be able to live with a social and tolerant friend. Preparing your home for your new dog or puppy ahead of time can help ease the transition for your new pet and set you both up for success should there be a dog thatâs a good match!

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.
