Description
Dog Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier. Quote from foster family: If you value personal space, Bijou is not the girl for you. She absolutely loves to snuggle and be near her humans, and she has never met a stranger. This smart cookie knows sit, paw, down, wait, and leave it. Bijou is highly treat motivated, and one of her favorite things is to lie down with a chew toy. Woof-Facts Name: Bijou Breed: Mixed breed Weight: 52 lbs Age: 3 years old Gender: Female Health: Already spayed; up to date on vaccinesMore Info: Bijou is equal parts zoomies and cuddles. She loves tug-of-war and is adorably vocal while playing; but her fun loving puppy energy is easily redirected with a treat. She is very alert and curious on walks, but will check in regularly for cookies. Forever home recommendations: Bijou needs physical exercise and mind-stimulation engagement, so she’ll need a home that will provide that. Please know that she’s not always in go-mode – she’s pretty much equal parts snuggle and play. Kids: Due to her strength, we feel a home with older kids could be a fit. Dogs: Dog friendly Cats: No Crate trained: Yes House trained: Yes Leash manners: Walks well on a leash; may occasionally get a bit excited and jump up at the leash, but is eager to please and easily corrected. With the appropriate harness, she walks calmly side by side with her foster brother. Personality: Loves everyone she meets

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.
