Description
Dog Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier (short coat). Babe is a sweet and striking fella with a huge, unforgettable head and an even bigger heart. He’s already a neighborhood favorite — people recognize him instantly and he’s always eager to say hello. Whether it’s adults or kids, Babe is thrilled to make new friends and loves soaking up all the pets he can get. Babe is still new to his person, so he hasn’t had a lot of dog-to-dog socializing yet. On walks, he’s perfectly content giving other dogs space and will calmly cross the street when needed. He is very interested in cats and squirrels, so some gentle redirection (and avoidance where possible!) keeps things smooth. He’s working on reducing pulling and making steady progress through work with a trainer. Babe also loves a car rides and at home, he's a cuddle machine. He’s treat-motivated, which makes training fun and rewarding for both sides. Babe knows sit, shake, down, and roll over. And he's currently working on place, come and leave it commands. Babe is fully potty trained, non-destructive, and totally fine being left home alone. He enjoys his toys, but he’s a strong chewer, so he’ll need durable, tough options. If you’re looking for a lovable companion who brings joy everywhere he goes, Babe is ready to wag his way into your heart. Babe is currently fostered in Oakland, CA. Message taryn.nessgmail to meet Babe and for more info. California Pit bull Rescue is an official 501(c)(3) and requires an adoption application and $200 donation fee for all adoptions.

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.
