Pit Bull Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Wilkes-barre, Pennsylvania

Athena #60122115 {Adult Female/Terrier, American Pit Bull}
Athena is a beautiful girl who is learning to trust humans more and more every day. When she first arrived at the shelter, she was extremely timid, but thanks to the patience and dedication of our staff and volunteers, she has already made wonderful progress. ❤️

Athena is looking for a calm, adult-only home where she can continue to build confidence at her own pace. She would do best as the only dog in the home, and we are unsure how she feels about cats at this time.

Her new family should be prepared to give her time, patience, and a quiet environment while she adjusts to her new surroundings. Limiting noise and visitors during the first few weeks will help her feel safe and secure as she settles in.

The Pit Bull Terrier is a resilient and loyal breed known for its muscular build and loving nature. Originally bred for bull baiting and later dog fighting, Pit Bulls today are beloved family pets cherished for their gentle temperament and playful personality. With proper training and socialization, Pit Bull Terriers make affectionate companions that thrive on human interaction. Recognized for their strength and agility, these dogs require regular exercise and mental stimulation to channel their energy positively, reinforcing their reputation as devoted and trainable pets.
