Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier (medium coat). 72.6# Hi friends, I'm Elsa! I'm a loveable gal who is as charming as I am cuddly, with my smooshy face and wagging tail I win hearts wherever I go. I'm a social butterfly who enjoys the company of other dogs and just about everyone I meet! I have a gentle, sweet nature and would make a wonderful companion. HOWEVER.... I am one large mamma jamma who does not know personal space. I come running in like a bulldozer and take out all in my path. I do have some funky skin, so I'll need a bit of extra TLC in my new home. My future family will need to provide a vet reference at the time of my adoption. See you soon!

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.
