ARLO - Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Colorado Springs, Colorado

Hi I'm Arlo! I am young and a giant goofball. I grew quickly and can often forget just how big I am. I do best when walking in a harness but could still use some training. I am very interested in play with other dogs but may come on a bit too strong for some. I have lived with toddlers and tend to be overexcited and jumpy around them. I have no experience with cats. Proper management and slow introductions can help me succeed.
