Pit Bull Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption

Bruiser (A566287) is a 2yo, 60lbs, white pit bull terrier. Bruiser has been at the shelter since January 6th, 2026. https://24Petconnect.com/DetailsMain/PGEO/A566287 I was about to pack up for the day and head out, and then I saw Bruiser’s happy face through the kennel. Without hesitation, I put my bag down and brought my leash out to make sure I made time for him. I wasn’t disappointed, as Bruiser was fun to walk with and hang out with in the big run in the field. Bruiser pulls a bit on the leash and is occasionally jumpy, as can be expected from a young dog who isn’t getting regular walks. He seems to have had at least some prior training though as he used the bathroom immediately after going outside, which might indicate prior house training. He also checks in with me while we are walking, and showed me that he is familiar with “sit”, “wait”, and “here” cues. Bruiser has previously participated in playgroup at the shelter in the gentle dainty grouping of dogs. His notes say he was “steerable with gentle dainty play style. Today’s frigid temperatures could have played a role in lack of playful activity.”. I hope that Bruiser finds a home before too long.He deserves a home with a family who will appreciate his gregarious personality, great smile and cute wiggly butt!
