Macho - Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Marshalltown, Iowa

This big guy is a huge baby at heart. He is playful, energetic, and loves to run around and play with his balls and rope toys. He is also a big fan of stuffies, although he will quickly destroy them, so supervision is recommended with stuffed toys.

He is not aggressive, but he can be very protective of his toys. Use caution when taking toys from him and consider trading for a different toy or treat rather than reaching directly for his toys.

He is very affectionate and loves having his head and butt scratched. He came in as a stray, so we are still learning about him and his history. We believe he may understand or respond to Spanish, so trying Spanish commands may be helpful.

Overall, he is a big, goofy, playful boy who enjoys attention, exercise, and spending time with people.
