Pit Bull Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Oakland, California

Meet Jake! This red-and-white, 70 lb, 10-month-old pittie is a big, goofy sweetheart with an adorable speckled nose. Jake is the definition of a velvet hippo-soft, snuggly, and completely devoted to his people.
Jake may seem a bit nervous in his kennel, but don't let that fool you-it's only because he wants to be as close to humans as possible. Once he's out and spending time with you, his true personality shines: playful, affectionate, and full of love. He's still growing and has no idea how big he is, which just adds to his charm!
Because Jake can get a little rowdy when he's excited, he'd do best in a home without very young kids. What he really needs is a patient family who can give him space to decompress, plenty of enrichment, and lots of love outside of the shelter environment.
In return, Jake will be your ultimate cuddle buddy-he lives for snuggles and simply being near his people. If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion with a goofy streak, Jake is your guy! Primary Color: Tan Secondary Color: White Weight: 71lbs Age: 0yrs 10mths 3wks Animal has been Neutered
