Description
Dog Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier / American Staffordshire Terrier (medium coat). Meet Malibu Ken! This 4-year old dashingly gorgeous dreamboat came to us when his owner could no longer care for him, and he is a DOLL! Uhhh, let’s get something out of the way…Ken is easy on the eyes. A stunning knockout if you will; but his heart is even more tender. This man is one-of-a-kind – dare I say, one-of-a-Ken? And is waiting for a family and a DreamHouse all his own! This vibrant piece of delicious arm candy isn’t just another pretty face. Kenny knows many commands, is connected and intuitive with his people, and is super eager to please. He loves snacks (and they never go to his thighs!) so training is a breeze. He endearingly searches for a hand to hold throughout the day…all day every day and is content to be touching you at all times. Ken loves people and is a happy, social guy. He rolls over for belly rubs, and like an iconic boy toy, offers his tush for petting. He was beloved at the shelter and a staff, vet, and volunteer favorite. We can see why…he is SOOOO special. While our Ken doesn’t have a deep tan, molded blue eyes, or painted blond hair, this handsome man does have the most amazing single black ear, speckled coat, and a beach-centric persona – perfectly laid back and gentle to match any surf culture. He exudes a relaxed beach vibe and would gladly hang with his gang on the beach for hours of sun and fun (with sunscreen of course!) but be equally happy chillaxing by the infinity pool, where he might splash around if given the chance. And those deep olive eyes with the perfectly asymmetrical guyliner…be still my heart! Ken is a sunsational Malibu-inspired treasure and is ready to revamp his life—mind, body, and soul. He has been given a major glow up in his foster home and is relaxed after sleeping off the last several months of uncertainty. And while he has some, ahem, “Ken-ergy,” really, he is just a go-with-the-flow kind of pup who is content to simply be close like a stereotypical bully. And now? Malibu Ken is ready to swap the sunny shores and oceanfront panoramic views for a spot in a family all his own. Because of his size and lack of history, older or no kids would be best for this tropical hunk and a half. Malibu Ken’s top 3 priorities: 1. A family who is committed to loving him forever and ever. After a tumultuous year, this iconic babe needs a consistent and loving environment to feel safe and start his forever. 2. A family of snugglers. You like your personal space and are offended by a 58-lb lap dog who will gladly be the little spoon at night? This man is not for you. Physical touch is his love language, and he would be best with a family who felt the same. 3. A family who includes a Barbie type all his own, because, well…Barbie is everything. Our Ken loves the ladies, is a bit of a mama’s boy, and would love a human mom to shower him with love and affection!

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.
