Fitzroy - Pit Bull Terrier and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Kansas City, Missouri

Meet Fitz!

Fitz is a short and stout 51lb cuddle bug with the most amazing bat-like ears. He's crate trained, house trained, walks well on leash, and has done well with meeting small children. His previous foster reported he is great with cats. Fitz loves affection and is happiest curled up in a lap. He finds dogs on the other side of the fence very interesting and may do best in a home where he can enjoy a peaceful yard without regular fence-line interactions with neighboring dogs.

Fitz attended play groups at the shelter and he can be a bit picky about his dog friends, but he could do well with patient and tolerant dogs around his size.

Fitz is neutered, microchipped, up to date on his vaccinations. ...

These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
