Description
Dog Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier (medium coat). Meet Sierra! Sierra is a 10-year-old white Pitbull with a gentle heart and a lifetimeâs worth of love wrapped up in her soft, grey-muzzled smile. She has spent all her years devoted to a single family, growing up alongside their children, sharing quiet moments with adults and seniors, and offering steady comfort through every season of their lives. Now, because of housing restrictions and financial hardship, Sierra is searching for a welcoming place to rest her head as she enters her golden years. Even as she ages, Sierra still carries a little spark in her step. She walks beautifully on leash, greeting new people with warmth and curiosity. Her previous owner reports that at home, she is calm, well-mannered, and housetrained. Sierra has shared her life with large dogs and enjoys their company, and her previous family describes her as playful, patient, and sweet with children of all ages. For a decade, Sierra has been loyal, loving, and full of quiet devotion. Now she deserves the same in return, a peaceful and caring home where she can feel safe, cherished, and finally exhale. If your heart has room for a gentle soul who will brighten your days with her sweetness, Sierra may be the companion you have been waiting for.

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.
