And we receive new "adoptees" every day, so add our website to your "favorites" list and visit us often. .talgov/animals Lefty is a 43-pound girl with a unique and endearing head tilt that makes her especially memorable. She was found as a stray, and while the cause of her tilt is still unknown, several potential issues have already been ruled out. Many dogs with her type of head tilt go on to live completely normal, happy lives, though there is a possibility she could develop neurological concerns in the future. Despite her uncertain medical history, Lefty remains a sweet, social dog who enjoys human company. She walks well on a leash, is gentle by nature, and does well around other dogs. Lefty is looking for a compassionate family willing to give her the love, stability, and care she deserves. With her friendly demeanor and resilient spirit, she has all the potential to become a truly cherished companion.

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.
