Ajax - Pit Bull Terrier and Greyhound Dog for Adoption in Ventura, California

MEET AJAX! Ajax is an almost 7-year-old Greyhound-Pittie-Shepherd mix, in need of a foster or forever home. Ajax is a special boy who needs a special person to work with him and help him feel secure.

He is the type of dog who bonds intensely to his person, and thus any transition is a challenge (and in fact, transitioning him to you could be challenging). But once he bonds to you, he's loyal to you forever.

Ajax would be a great companion for an active person who wants a mix of a couch potato and active canine pal.

Physically, Ajax is a quirky boy! He's got a pittie face, shepherd ears and long legs. He loves to run and play, and he loves his toys, too.

He would do well with an experienced adopter or foster who can provide him with love and attention and some basic obedience training. He was once adopted a couple years ago but returned for jumping up on the adopters. But he was loyal to them, too. And now he's older.

He has done well with some dogs but would thrive as an only dog, too. He's not a fan of the vet, so needs to wear a muzzle if he goes.

Ajax weighs about 57 lbs. If you can foster or adopt him, and have dog experience, please email for an application. He is currently in Southern California and available to meet!
