Here's what the humans have to say about me:
MARCUS - ID#A005784
MARCUS is a male, reddish brown/brindle and white American Pit Bull Terrier. Shelter staff think he was about 1 year and 6 months old when he arrived on April 16, 2006, as a lost or stray dog. MARCUS weighs about 45lbs. and has a smooth short coat. He is very sweet and quite friendly and likes being with people very much. In a short period of time, volunteers have helped Marcus learn good leash manners and basic commands. He is a very adoptable dog who needs to find his special place. He would do best in a home without small children as he often does not know his own size. Someone who is willing to continue loving training and provide companionship would be ideal for Marcus.
Applications are currently being accepted by fax, mail, or in person. We always adopt to the best home, not necessarily the first application. NOTE: Renters, you will need landlord approval before the pet is released to you for adoption.
Dog adoptions are $85 and include spay or neuter, current shots, flea treatment if required, "New Owner" folder packed full of helpful information, 1-free (from our list) veterinary basic health examination within 5 days of adoption, and microchip.
Our adopted dogs come with a SPECIAL BONUS of up to $80.00 toward training expenses within 6 months of adoption. We hope to provide a smooth and lasting transition into your household. Ask for complete details at the time you adopt your new companion dog.
