And we receive new "adoptees" every day, so add our website to your "favorites" list and visit us often. .talgov/animals Hiya, I'm Wilma! I'm a 55-pound girl with a heart of gold and an endearing head tilt that makes me look constantly intrigued by my surroundings. I was found as a stray, and while the cause of my tilt is still unknown, it doesn't seem to stop me from being my silliest self. The nice shelter staff have ruled out several possible issues linked to head tilts, and thankfully many dogs with my kind of head tilt go on to live completely normal, happy lives. Despite my off-balance look, I remain a sweet, social dog who really, REALLY enjoys human company. Any and all affection is welcome! To sweeten the deal even more, I walk well on a leash, I'm potty trained and crate trained, and I generally do well around other dogs. I can't wait to meet my forever family and finally get the love, stability, and care I've been craving. Are you the perfect match for me?

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.
