Newman - Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Anderson, Indiana

* Sweet, gentle guy that loves to head out for his daily walks
* Initially excited to head out on the town- can pull on his leash quite a bit at first
* Treasures his prized squeaky toys, won't destroy them
* Does seem to guard his toys and will not release willingly (finally did for a treat)
* Knows how to sit and take his treats gently
* Ignored and avoided dog friends when introduced, did not want to interact
* Did arrive at our shelter with bite wounds on his face
* Would need a very slow, monitored introduction to calm friends if he were to have dog siblings
* Fearful and ignored cats when introduced
* Adult only home required (due to toy guarding)
