Jim - American Staffordshire Terrier and Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Lafayette, California

Meet Jim!

Jim is an adorable Pit Bull mix puppy who is ready to leave his difficult start behind and find a forever family.

Born in a homeless encampment alongside the freeway, Jim was one of only four puppies from a litter of eight who were surrendered to rescue. Now he has the opportunity to experience the life every puppy deserves.

Jim is smart, affectionate, playful, and eager to be wherever his people are. He loves attention and would happily spend his day following his family around as their little shadow.

His parents were both approximately 45 pounds, and we expect Jim to mature into a medium-sized dog.

At only 8 weeks old, Jim is still very much a baby. He has no formal training and will need a family committed to helping him learn everything from basic manners to potty training and socialization.

His ideal home would include:
A house with a securely fenced yard
A flexible schedule for puppy training and care
A commitment to socialization and obedience training
Plenty of exercise and enrichment
Another friendly dog to help show him the ropes

Jim is looking for a family that understands puppies require patience, consistency, and a lifelong commitment. In return, hell offer endless love and loyalty.
Adoption fee is 400
