BLUE (JH) - PIT BULL TERRIER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). UPDATE: BLUE'S ADOPTION FEE HAS BEEN PAID! Blue is a handsome 5.5 year old that was originally adopted from us as a tiny puppy in 2021. Sadly, in 2025, he was returned to us when his family moved and said they could no longer keep him. After coming back into our care, we learned that Blue had spent most of his life living on a runner in the backyard with access to a garage, receiving very little socialization or the life every dog deserves. He arrived frightened, unsure of people, and suffering from severe skin issues. Today, Blue is a completely different dog. With proper veterinary care and attention, Blue has blossomed into one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. He has learned that people can be kind, gentle, and trustworthy, and he now happily seeks out affection and enjoys spending time with his people. Blue has also been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and takes a daily thyroid medication that has made an incredible difference. His skin and coat have improved dramatically, and he is feeling better than ever. The medication should run $15.00 per month. Blue gets along well with other dogs, though he is still learning appropriate dog-to-dog social skills after missing out on so much during his younger years. He would do well with patient canine companions who can help continue building his confidence. We believe he would do best in a home without small dogs or cats. He keeps his kennel clean, so we expect the transition to house training in a home to be an easy one. Blue has overcome so much and never stopped believing that life could get better. Now all he needs is a family willing to give him the second chance he deserves. If you’re looking for a loyal companion, Blue is ready to start the next chapter of his life with you!
