Description
Dog Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier (short coat). Meet Forest! Forest is an 8-year-old sweetheart with a wonderful mix of energy and calm. He loves getting out for walks and does well on leash. Forest can get pretty interested in small critters along the way and with a steady handler, he’ll explore right by your side. He’s especially curious about cats, so he’ll do best in a cat-free home. Forest loves relaxing near his people, scratching his back in the grass, soaking up sunshine, playing with his toys, and finishing the day with some good snuggle time. Forest would make a loyal, loving companion for a person or family and if there's children in the home, he would do best with older kids, since he loves toys! He’s ready to share his big heart with someone special. He doesn’t bark at the neighbor dogs and has never shown reactivity when out on walks, or at events. Even at the shelter, he was neutral unless a neighbor was extremely reactive walking by his Kennel. Forest would probably be OK with a low energy, neutral dog. . If you're interested in meeting Forest, please contact his foster mom Peggie at phartig14gmail or Placer County Animal Services: (530) 886-5541 Here are some additional videos: .facebook/reel/1354696349740405/ .facebook/reel/1263913392304072/ .instagram/reel/DTGX0c4DvO7/ .instagram/reel/DR0iSM4CROO/ California Pit bull Rescue is an official 501(c)(3) and requires an adoption application and $200 donation fee for all adoptions.

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.
