Pit Bull Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Denton, Texas

Meet the amazing Mr. Alfred. This beautiful boy is a 2-year-old American Bully (Standard) who has quickly become a volunteer and staff favorite! Since arriving at the shelter on 3/13/2026, Alfred has shown himself to be a calm, affectionate, and highly social companion who loves spending time with people. He’s dog friendly, making him a great fit for homes with other pups, and he’s already housebroken (BONUS) and crate trained—so he’s ready to settle right in. Alfred knows basic commands and is food motivated, which makes ongoing training a breeze. He walks well on a leash and enjoys calm strolls, making him a wonderful walking buddy. With his gentle demeanor and eagerness to please, Alfred is the perfect match for anyone seeking a loyal, easygoing friend. After spending over a month in the shelter, we’re urgently seeking a home for Alfred so he can thrive in a loving environment. For adoption or foster information, call 940-349-7594 or inquire by emailing animal.services@cityofdenton.com.
