Description
Dog Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier (medium coat). Introducing Foodie! Contrary to what youâd expect, this 2-year-old boy is not all about the snacks! What he is all about is gentle companionship, playful energy, and building trust at his own pace. When Foodie first came to MCASAC, he was very fearful, but with time, patience, and love, heâs begun to come out of his shell little by little. Foodie can still be a bit shy at first and will do best with someone who understands the importance of moving slowly and helping him feel safe. Once youâre in his circle of trust, though, get ready, because he turns into the biggest goofball youâll ever meet. His personality shines through his silly little antics like chasing (and gnawing) balls, playful bows, and boundless enthusiasm for playtime. He's a very energetic boy who loves to have some fun! Foodie also keeps his kennel pretty clean and doesn't seem to have any accidents. Foodie has played around in a couple of playgroups and has shown to be playful with other dogs. One of his cutest habits is offering his paw when you hold your hand out. Itâs his sweet way of saying hello (and politely asking for a few pets).

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.
