Description
Dog Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier (medium coat). Meet Fred â a big-hearted, chonky sweetheart with a goofy charm and a whole lot of love to give. Fred is the kind of dog who wins people over instantly. Heâs affectionate, people-focused, and happiest when heâs close to his humans, preferably on them if he can manage it. Despite his size, he firmly believes heâs a lapdog and will try to climb right into your arms for pets and cuddles. In the home, Fred is gentle, sweet, and very food motivated. Heâll plop under the breakfast table and sit politely, staring up with hopeful eyes, just in case a crumb might fall his way. Fred recently stayed in foster with another dog. He enjoyed the playful moments, but he seems more comfortable when he has his own space. Heâs a sweet boy trying his best, and heâll thrive with a patient home ready to give him consistency and care. All in all, Fred is a lovable, cuddly, goofy companion who is ready to be someoneâs loyal, snuggly best friend. With the right home, one that understands his quirks and appreciates his big personality, Fred will shine.

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.
