This athletic boy loves hopping up to his favorite lookout spot, keeping an eye on the world while waiting for his forever family to find him. Spot is friendly, confident, and outgoing â the kind of dog who greets you with a happy wag and instantly makes you feel like an old friend. He adores pets, loves meeting new people, and is a joy to walk on leash. Exploring the neighborhood, followed by a burst of joyful zoomies, is his idea of a perfect day. In his foster home, Spot has truly shined. Heâs wonderful with young children (even those under 3!), loves snuggling and cuddling, and is happiest curled up on the couch or sleeping at the foot of the bed near his people.

Sweet, charming, and full of personality, Spot is ready to leap straight into your heart â just like he leaps into that window. Come meet him and let him show you why heâs such a special boy.

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.
