Pit Bull Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption

I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog Adoption:18Corvette is a 4-year-old, 38-pound terrier mix with a happy, bouncy spirit. She’s generally easy on leash but can sometimes get excited. When you kneel down, she’ll gladly come over for a sweet lick and rest her head in your hands. She truly shines with kind reassurance and plenty of “good girl” praise. She’s still working on basic cues like sit, but she takes treats very gently and loves to learn.

On a recent field trip, Corvette was a superstar. She needed a little boost into the car, then calmly laid down for the entire ride and hopped out on her own. She politely ignored people, bikes, and runners, paused to watch some geese, and happily continued her sniffy walk.

Corvette is friendly with other dogs and could go home with gentle playmates, or she’d be just as content as a solo pup with friends. She does have some medical needs (dry eyes and dermatitis), but she handles care like a champ, tolerating medicated baths with ease.

Come meet her for a test drive, Corvette is ready to ride shotgun!
