Description
Dog Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier (short coat). Life has a way of making every creature work as hard as they possibly can. Toby knows a thing or two about hard work and hard times. This stoic boy has seen himself in the home of multiple families, in and out of the shelter and now in a better suited foster situation for the time being. He is a smart dog with sometimes a little sass in how he feels about people or things. Toby enjoys his main humans most. The ones that feed him, play with him, walk him and spend quality time with him are the best ever. All others are not necessary, wanted or needed. Toby is a home body, its clear that at a young age he did not get a ton of socialization with humans or animals. Despite that he is a pretty good listener and with some training he has improved significantly on his walks. We think that a suburban environment away from city noise and bustle will be better for him ultimately. At this time he is braving the city life and doesnt like the pressure of all the silly neighborhood dogs that live in such close quarters. He sees his future out in the open prairie or forest preserves with a family that can take the time to let him enjoy his maturity. Toby is around 4-5 years old and he is more than willing to give it a shot again with the right family. Pitbull experience or large breed is recommended. As well as a quieter household with less guest traffic. Toby is crate trained and respects gates, he is still at times a little standoffish with strangers in the home. Currently Toby lives with a female and he doesnt really mind her too much. She is an older dog and they mostly just hang out. A calm dog about his size he may be comfortable living alongside. An adult only household is best for him as well. Contact us today to meet this remarkable dog.

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.
