Roux - Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Portland, Oregon

What my friends at OHS say about me:

I am a sucker for a good belly rub.
I would flourish in an active home with plenty of outlets for my energy! Physical and mental enrichment is a must!


To learn more about my specific needs, please read my What to Expect handout.

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.

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.
Resource Guarding: I have a history of guarding my people, food, toys and/or bedding from other animals or people.




I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.

I can be picky about my canine companions. Slow introductions and having my own space will be important for me to adjust to a home with resident dogs. I would do best meeting other dogs in a calm and controlled environment and would not thrive at the dog park or other busy spaces.


The type of home I'm looking for:

I would love to live in a family that has someone at home most of the time.

I need to go to an adult only home.

I need a home without cats or other small animals.
