Pit Bull Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption

Dorito is a 1 year, 7 months old male Pit Bull Terrier/Mix who weighs 59 pounds.

Dorito is a young, sensitive soul who is learning that the world can be a safe and kind place. At about 1½ years old, he is still growing into himself and discovering confidence one step at a time.

Dorito can be shy when meeting new people, but with treats, patience, and a calm approach, he warms up and shows his sweet, goofy side. Once he trusts you, his personality truly shines-and he has quickly become a staff favorite because of it.

Dorito is very food motivated, which makes him a great candidate for positive-reinforcement training and confidence-building activities. He has lived with other dogs in the past, but he can be cautious about making new dog friends and would benefit from slow, thoughtful introductions.

Dorito is looking for a home with mature, empathetic people who understand that trust takes time.

If you are interested in adopting Dorito, please come to the shelter, with the folks who live in your home and other dogs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between 12-4pm. If you are unable to come during those hours please email dogs@worcesterarl.org to see what other times may be available.
