Description
Dog Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier (short coat). We couldn’t say no… When our friends at Gloucester County Animal Shelter asked us to pull a dog to help open kennel space, we knew we had to step up — huge thanks to one of our awesome foster homes for saying YES! Meet Hopper! This 9-month-old Pit Bull was surrendered to the shelter with another dog when their family could no longer afford to care for them. Thankfully, his housemate found a home through the shelter — and we were able to scoop Hopper up so he could get his second chance! Hopper is now safe in foster care and officially accepting applications! Apply to adopt Hopper: 4pawsnj/adopt Send Hopper gifts from his wishlist: 4pawsnj/hopper

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.
