My story

Jake is about 3 years old, and he weighs just over 60 pounds. Jake is looking for a home without children, and he must be the only pet in the home. This very strong, high-energy boy is leery of strangers at first, but enjoys sitting for treats and going for walks in the snow with the shelter staff.

* Jake qualifies for the shelter's Adult Companion Program *

Why adoption is a great option

Jake, a Lyons American Pit Bull Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Pit Bull Terrier for sale in Lyons, or seeking a American Pit Bull Terrier dog from a breeder in Lyons.

  1. Rescues and shelter volunteers in Lyons 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 Lyons 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 American Pit Bull Terrier breeders who help with American Pit Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Lyons paves the way for another one to be saved.
