Bodhi (Foster or Adopter Needed!) - Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Westwood, New Jersey

Meet Bodhi, a male pit bull terrier mix with a huge heart and a true survivor’s spirit. He is estimated to be between 1 and 3 years old, weighs about 45 pounds, and is full of life and love.

Bodhi miraculously survived a hit-and-run car accident, and through it all, he has remained incredibly sweet and people-oriented. As a result of his injuries, Bodhi needed a tail amputation, but he has healed beautifully and is now in excellent physical shape. His resilience is matched by his joyful, lively personality.

Bodhi loves to train and play with people, he can get a bit over-excited so he needs people who are willing to work with his trainers to learn how to play properly with him. His trainers will also be involved every step of the way to ensure a smooth transition and help to answer any questions.

Bodhi would do best as an only dog in an adult only home and people who have past experience with a high drive, high energy dog. He is a great dog with a big heart, a strong spirit, and so much love to give. If you are looking for a loyal companion with a remarkable story and an even better personality, Bodhi may be the one for you.
