Pit Bull Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption

I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog J:3Chickadee – The Tenderhearted Young Soul who is Smart and Affectionate

Meet Chickadee, an 1-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier mix with a gentle spirit and 44 pounds of pure sweetness. Sensitive yet eager to connect, this lovely girl blooms with a little patience and a lot of love.

Shy and curious: Chickadee may start off a bit timid, taking her time to observe and explore, but her curiosity soon brings her closer to you.
Bright and willing: Once she’s comfortable, she responds beautifully to “sit” and “paw”, and comes when called with a soft tail wag and bright, trusting eyes.
Affectionate and gentle: She leans in for neck scritches, then melts into belly rubs, showing her love for human touch as she warms up to you.
Calm and composed: Between moments of affection, she enjoys sniffing and exploring, content in your company without demanding constant engagement.
Dog-social demeanor: Chickadee attends doggie playgroup and shows polite interest in other dogs — curious yet not too pushy or reactive.

Chickadee is a sensitive sweetheart who’s learning that the world can be kind. With her soft heart and growing confidence, she’ll thrive with someone patient and affectionate — either alongside a gentle canine friend or as a beloved only dog.

The Pit Bull Terrier is a resilient and loyal breed known for its muscular build and loving nature.

With proper training and socialization, Pit Bull Terriers make affectionate companions that thrive on human interaction. Recognized for their strength and agility, these dogs require regular exercise and mental stimulation to channel their energy positively, reinforcing their reputation as devoted and trainable pets.
