Aris is a 2-year-old American Pitbull Terrier looking for hiss furrever home!

Aris takes a while to warm up since she can he’s naturally a bit of an anxious dog, wanting to make sure he really knows someone before he gets comfortable. Still, he’s always trying his best, and is able to put on a brave face if he’s with someone he trusts! Even with strangers however, he’s always showing off his sweet side, cautiously accepting pets and trying his hardest to mind his manners. While he isn’t opposed to being around children, they can be a bit too energetic for him sometimes, so he would prefer to be with older teens that can give him space when needed.
