Dayton - Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Valparaiso, Indiana

When we asked Dayton's foster to share some insight on what you can expect when adopting this big perfect boy she said

"Dayton is looking for a canine playmate and active humans. He loves enrichment puzzles, training, hiking and running. He likes to rough house play with a canine friend with similar energy and play style. He is crate and potty trained. After expending his "puppy like" energy, as he's under 2 years old, he loves a good snuggle or a bone to chew on and just relax. Dayton is not a lazy couch potato though. He thrives on activity and play. He is a 70lbs pup and every ounce of him is happy and endearing. He is always enthusiastic about meeting new people and wants to play with every dog he sees. He's the "greeter" everywhere he goes. His playful energy does make him a very active guy. He also wants to chase every bird, bug and squirrel he sees. A lover of nature, you could say. Dayton is a beautiful soul who just wants a home to call his own."
