Description
Dog Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier (medium coat). Hi, my name is Dodger! I'm young and fun, with energy to spare. I love walks with volunteers that are patient with me and allow me to warm up to them. I have a ton of energy and would most likely do well with children who are at least 10 years or older. I have met other dogs here at the shelter and am still working on my scocial skills. Other dogs think I can be rude and pushy. Volunteers say I'm `sweet` and `shy.` Come down and meet me today! What I Need In a Home: * Kids 10+ mandatory *I am a restricted breed in Denver. If you are a Denver resident, you must also purchase a Breed-Restricted Permit for $30.

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.
