Chestnut - Pit Bull Terrier and Greyhound Dog for Adoption in Portland, Oregon

What my friends at OHS say about me:

I love nothing more than making new friends, human and canine!
I may look all grown up, but I am a still a bit of a puppy. My new family members should be ready to handle my size and exuberant affection!
I love to run and chase, so I am all for fluffy toys to chase, food dispensing toys and any kind of game, really! Keeping my brain busy, will help keep me (and you!) happy.
I lived with elementary school-age kids in my last home.
Giddy-up! The staff here call me a pony because I like to stand on my hind legs for easier access to pets.
Are you ready for me and you to be stuck like glue?
I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.
Shy and Nervous: I can be worried about new people, new surroundings and touch. I prefer to take things at my own pace and will need to live in a calm environment.
Escape Artist: I have a history of escaping doors or fences. I will need supervision when outdoors or we can go on adventures together - on leash of course!
High Energy: I can become easily frustrated if my physical and mental exercise needs are not met. I will need positive outlets and a calm environment to help me flourish.
