Fargo - Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

** $10 for the rescue that pulls **

Fargo is a meaty 59 lb hunk who came to the shelter on April 14th after he was found as a stray. His finder described him as being "shy and scared," but he has been so excitable in the shelter.

Our behavior staff described him as "a very social guy. He solicits attention with a loose body, wagging tail, open mouth with tongue hanging out, and soft eyes. He is very treat motivated, even seeking out leftover crumbs on the floor. He did show knowledge of "sit", and took them gently. He is very sweet and gentle."

Fargo is available for foster, adoption, and rescue and would love to meet YOU!
