Pit Bull Terrier and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

General Tobias, or more commonly known as Toby, is an extremely spirited little bundle of energy that is looking for the perfect home to help him really fulfill his potential and thrive. Being found out in the snow as an abandoned puppy at a mere 6-7 weeks old, he has taken the last few weeks to heal from both a gnarly case of frost bite and a slight wound to his trust for humans. Now that he has really been able to become comfortable in his foster home, his personality has really been given the opportunity to show itself.

Toby would be best described as nothing other than a hungry little land shark (his foster momma would even joke that there has to be Belgian Malinois in his breed mix ha-ha) with the most hilarious attitude. He is constantly looking for a toy to throw around, pant legs to pull on, food/treats to inhale, or people/animals to chase around and play with. He does like to get rowdy, and it is believed that he would do best in a home that would help him appropriately channel this desire to go-go-go.

Toby is fully vetted. With that said: he has been neutered, microchipped, fecal tested, dewormed/put-on broad-spectrum prevention (covering both heartworm and fleas/ticks/worms), and vaccinated according to the most current puppy vaccine scheduling. In addition to his vetting, Toby has been started on some basic puppy training, including kennel and potty training. If you are looking for a pup that will always keep you on your toes, Toby is your man!

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

The Pit Bull Terrier is a resilient and loyal breed known for its muscular build and loving nature. Originally bred for bull baiting and later dog fighting, Pit Bulls today are beloved family pets cherished for their gentle temperament and playful personality. With proper training and socialization, Pit Bull Terriers make affectionate companions that thrive on human interaction. Recognized for their strength and agility, these dogs require regular exercise and mental stimulation to channel their energy positively, reinforcing their reputation as devoted and trainable pets.
