Description
Dog Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier (medium coat). Dodge is a male adult pit bull mix who runs on equal parts zoomies, love, and emotional support energy. This very sweet boy can be a little shy at first, but once he decides youâre his person, he will stick to you like glue and proudly become your full-time shadow. Dodge loves to play, explore, and soak up time outside, whether that means sniffing every blade of grass or bouncing around with his goofy enthusiasm. He came to the shelter through no fault of his own after his owner fell ill, and heâs still waiting for his next chapter to begin. With his playful spirit, loving heart, and endless devotion, Dodge is ready to dodge the shelter life and sprint straight into a forever home. Dogs: Friendly! Cats: Unknown Kids: Maybe! I used to live with them.

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.
