Pit Bull Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Portland, Oregon

Hey friend, my name is Avery! If you're looking for a sweet and silly girl to adventure with, I may just be the perfect fit.

I'm a very playful pup and I love toys of all kinds! Stuffed animals are my favorite - I love to carry one around with me on walks. I'll show you when we meet! I love treats and positive reinforcement. You can use those things to teach me new things and become my best friend of course! I am high energy though and I can become easily frustrated if my energy and exercise needs are not met. I will need positive outlets and a calm environment to help me flourish.

I love people so much that I have a history of escaping unless crated and attempting to slip out of my collars. I will need supervision when outdoors or we can go on adventures together - on leash of course!

I have such a silly and outgoing personality. I love to cuddle and lay with my friends. Though I would do best with someone who is home most of the time but I am crate trained! I have anxiety I can be worried about being left alone and being in new situations.

While I have lived with another dog previously and have had fun playing with dogs here at the shelter, I will need to be your one and only. I have a history of resource guarding my toys from other animals. This just means more playtime and adventuring with just the two of us. I love to be the center of attention. All eyes and pets on me, please!

Sometimes I don't know my own size and can bump into things, so I need to go to a home without small children. Older dog-savvy kids are okay though! I will also need a home without cats or other small animals.

Even better? I'm part of the Diamond in the Ruff program, which you can learn more about here. Basically, we'll get to spend plenty of time together before we officially seal the deal. I hope to see you soon! Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 63.8lbs Age: 2yrs 5mths 3wks Animal has been Spayed
