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

What my friends at OHS say about me:


I can't wait to show my new family how playful I am!

Stick a bandana on me and let's go check those hikes off your bucket list!

Making new friends is so much fun! I'm a very social and confident boy.

Giddy-up! The staff here call me a pony because I like to stand on my hind legs for easier access to pets.

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.



The type of home I'm looking for:

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 do like other dogs but if your resident dog does not like to wrestle and box then we probably aren't the best match.

It could be with you! Click here to learn about the adoption process.
