Wyatt - Pit Bull Terrier and Shar Pei Dog for Adoption in Goodyear, Arizona

Wyatt is a 7 year old, 60 pound former street dog who spent nearly his entire life surviving on his own.

Before coming to us, Wyatt roamed our old Phoenix neighborhood day and night searching for food. His “owner” called him Monster, but never allowed him inside. He lived in feral mode, skin and bones, navigating traffic, dodging cars, and doing whatever he could to survive on the streets.

We watched Wyatt for a long time before we were finally able to get him off the streets and give him the chance he deserved. Learning how to be an inside dog was a big adjustment, but today Wyatt is living the air conditioned life of luxury. Now he is ready for a family of his own.

Wyatt is great on leash, loves going for walks, and warms up to new people when given the time and opportunity to get to know them. He does well with neutral, non conflict seeking dogs, but after spending so much of his life fending for himself, he would be perfectly happy being your one and only.
