Description
Dog Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier. Adoption Fee: 375. **Thanks to our friends at Sadie's Spirit of Rescue, Benji's adoption fee is waived!** Meet Benji Benji is a 3-year-old city dog who has mastered the art of apartment living. He enjoys getting out for daily walks and would happily join you for hikes and weekend adventures, but he’s just as content to snooze the day away while you’re at work. He has a great off-switch and knows how to relax. Benji will need a little time to adjust to a new routine, but once he settles in, his adopter will be rewarded with an incredibly loyal and loving companion. He’s a world-class cuddler who firmly believes personal space is overrated and would love nothing more than to be right by your side (or on your lap). While Benji doesn’t currently live with other dogs, he does well with dog friends and is great at matching the energy of his playmates—whether that means playful romps or calm coexistence. If you’re looking for a devoted, affectionate dog who’s equally happy exploring the outdoors and cuddling on the couch, Benji might just be your perfect match. Follow Benji's adventures on Instagram!

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.
