Chauncey's Story...
Hello, my name is Chauncey. I am a 1 year old, neutered, medium sized, 38 pound,brindle and white, Terrier, Pitbull mix. I was found all by myself as a stray and here I am safe and sound at this shelter looking for my new home. For a young boy I can say I am pretty mellow. I pretty much like to sniff around and then after, just lay down and enjoy my scenery. Maybe eventually I'll like toys but as of right now Im not too interested. I am such a good boy, I even take treats gently from you. Wont you come in to meet me? I promise Ill make you so happy!

Why Adoption is a Great Option

Chauncey, a Philadelphia Pit Bull Terrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pit Bull Terrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) for sale in Philadelphia, or seeking a Pit Bull Terrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) puppy from a breeder in Philadelphia.

  1. Rescues and shelter volunteers in Philadelphia already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
  2. On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Philadelphia breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
  3. You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Pit Bull Terrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) breeders who help with Pit Bull Terrier/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Philadelphia paves the way for another one to be saved.
