Pit Bull Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption

Raider is an energetic dog who is people-oriented and likes to play fetch, chase squeaky toys, and jumps up onto people when excited. He tends to pull hard on the leash, so he would benefit from continued training and regular exercise. He is a big, playful dog who sometimes forgets his size, so supervision around young children and keeping food out of reach will be important. He has not lived with cats, so his behavior around them is unknown. Raider also previously showed food-related resource guarding toward another dog, which was successfully managed by feeding the dogs separately.With structure, exercise, and lots of love, Raider will make a loyal and energetic companion.
