Pretzel - Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Naperville, Illinois

Hi, I’m Pretzel!

I was rescued from Georgia, and while my past wasn’t exactly the highlight of my life, I’m much more interested in what happens next. Preferably something involving a comfy couch, good snacks, and a person I can call mine.

I’m a calm, quiet, incredibly sweet guy who forms deep bonds with my people. I might need a little time to settle in and decide you’re trustworthy, but once you make my inner circle, congratulations—you’ve got yourself a very loyal shadow. I’ll follow you around, curl up beside you, flash you my goofy smile, and happily accept any treats that happen to come my way.

Cats and I are not a match. Another dog may be possible with the right introduction, and I can live with respectful kids who understand that sometimes a guy just needs a little personal space.

A generous sponsor has also helped reduce my adoption fee, so now I just need someone to give me the part money can’t buy: a forever home.

I’m Pretzel. A little salty-looking, actually very sweet.
