Description
Dog Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier. Adoption Fee: 375.00. Faith has already done the hard part. She had a home for years and adjusted to family life long ago. Now she’s looking for a soft place to land again. She’s a low energy girl who's perfectly happy relaxing at home while you’re at work and doesn’t need constant entertainment or attention. But still enjoys her walks, gets excited for her routines, and has plenty of energy left for the people she loves. She’s the kind of dog who likes a calm, comfortable life: naps nearby, hanging out with her people, and being included in the day-to-day stuff. Faith is fully house trained, great with kids, and very respectful around cats. Mostly, Faith is just an easy dog to live with. She knows how to be part of a household, she loves her people deeply, and she’s at a stage in life where the little things make her happy. On walks, she can be reactive to other dogs, so she’ll need someone who’s comfortable handling that and helping her avoid stressful situations. Because of that, she’d probably be happiest as the only dog in the home. Faith’s adoption fee is sponsored by our friends at Sadie’s Spirit of Rescue. Our data base requires us to give an animal a breed. The breed given to the dog is our best estimate, and should not be used to predict future behavior.

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.
