Patrick - Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Berea, Kentucky

I'm a fun, energetic boy who's ready to find a home of my own. I came to the shelter already neutered, microchipped, and mostly house-trained. Unfortunately, my microchip isn't registered to a working phone number, and the address listed isn't valid, so the staff believes I may have been abandoned.
I get excited easily, but I walk well on a leash and love getting out to explore. Toys and durable chews are some of my favorite things, and they help keep me busy. At the shelter, I can be barrier reactive, so I may bark or get worked up in my kennel, but I'm much calmer once I'm out. I would do best as the only pet in an adult-only home, as I'm not friendly with other dogs, cats, or kids. If you're looking for an active companion who will be your loyal best friend, I could be the perfect fit!
