Pit Bull Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Jersey City, New Jersey

Nyrissa is a 2-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier looking for her furrever home!

Nyrissa is a big dog that’s 70 pounds of pure snuggle, with her favorite place to put that smile of hers being right in front of you! She’s curious about every new place she goes, and at her size, it’s hard not to blame how confident she is with coming right up to whatever sparks her interest. Once she’s done exploring though, she just wants to put as much of herself on you as possible, showing a huge smile whenever she’s getting scratched behind the ears and especially when she’s getting her chin rubbed. Despite how friendly she is, Nyrissa is a bigger girl that can forget her weight sometimes, so she’d prefer to be in a home with older teens that can handle all her affection!

If you are interested in adopting Nyrissa, please go to jcnj.org/adopt to submit an application, or call us at 201-547-5700 during business hours for more information.
