Benelli - Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Columbia, Missouri

Benelli is a quiet, sweet, and gentle soul. Anyone who meets him can see that he hasn't always been shown the same kindness and tenderness that he so freely gives. In his short time with us, he has completely won our hearts with his cuddles, his long, droopy expressions, sneaky big kisses, and the little excited wag of his tail when you tell him good morning.

He absolutely loves going for walks-maybe a little too much! He can get excited and pull on the leash, but with gentle guidance he settles in nicely. And fair warning: you'll want to keep a close eye on any treats left near the counter-Benelli is quite the sneaky snacker!

More than anything, Benelli is happiest when he's close to his people, soaking up endless pets (especially belly rubs). A calm, loving home would be the perfect place for him to spend his golden years-a couple or individual ready to commit to him as fully as he will devote himself to you.
