Description
Dog Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier (medium coat). Scooby is a young, active, and incredibly sweet boy with a heart full of love and curiosity. Heâs always eager to see whatâs going on around him and especially eager to soak up attention from his people. A true lover boy, Scooby thrives on affection and quality time. Scooby gets so excited to meet new friends that he may piddle a little during greetings â itâs just his way of saying âIâm so happy to see you!â This is something heâll likely grow out of with confidence and consistency, but for now it just proves how big his heart is. Scooby will be happiest in a home that can provide him with positive outlets for his energy, plenty of playtime, and lots of bonding moments. He has been friendly with other dogs and, while a bit shy at first, seems happy to make new canine friends. He has a more submissive personality and does well with gentle interactions. Scooby is currently working on potty training and may need some guidance and patience as he continues to learn â shelter life can make routines tricky, so please show him a little grace while he settles in. On walks, Scooby typically does great on leash, though he likes to pause now and then just to make sure youâre still right beside him. Always showing how loyal he is! This smart, people-pleasing boy already knows the cues: sit, lay down, shake, and wait, and heâs eager to keep learning. We absolutely adore Scooby and know he will make a wonderful, loyal companion for the lucky person or family who gives him a chance!

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.
