Skeeter - Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Salisbury, North Carolina

Hello humans! I'm Skeeter — a high-energy, people-loving goofball packed into a 35-pound Pit mix body. I'm about two years old and very serious about having fun.

I'm attention-motivated (your focus = my favorite reward) and I LOVE people. I walk well on a leash, and I'm always ready for action — whether that's fetch, tug, zooming around the yard, or showing off my best playful antics. I've got hops, enthusiasm, and zero shame about using both to get you to play with me.

I'm SUPER smart and know how to spin, sit, shake, down, and roll over. I am eager to please! When we're done romping around, I love to cuddle and am a total love bug without a mean bone in my body!

Because I'm young, bouncy, and still learning my manners, I need an active home with a securely fenced yard where I can safely burn off my energy. I also must go to a home without children under 8, since I'm excitable. I have never shown aggression towards cats, but I like to chase them, so I'd do best in a home without cats. A patient, dog-savvy family who's ready to keep teaching me the ropes would be perfect for me.

I play great with other dogs and love a good rough-and-tumble chase session with my friends at the sanctuary. Under all that spunk, I'm a sweet, affectionate boy who just wants someone to love, cuddle with, and play with every day.

If you're looking for a fun, active companion who will keep life exciting and your heart full, I think I might be your guy. Submit an application — I can't wait to meet you!

I am up-to-date on vaccines, neutered, dewormed, microchipped, and heartworm negative.
