Espresso - Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Ithaca, New York

Meet Espresso (50 lbs)! This sweet boy came to us as a stray from the City of Ithaca, so we're still learning about his personality. Here at the shelter, he just wants to be petted and hang out with people! He also loves playing with toys, and walks very well on a leash. Since we don't know his history, we're unsure how he'll do in a home with cats or kids. If you already have a dog, our adoptions team can set up a meet-and-greet to see how they get along! Want to meet Espresso? Visit our adoption center Wednesday-Sunday: 12:00-4:30 PM (Thursday: 12:00-6:30 PM)
