Story
Pitt is a high-energy, fun-loving guy who is always ready to play! If you’re looking for a dog who can keep up with an active lifestyle, Pitt is your boy. He loves to run, romp, and burn off that big personality in the yard. He’s been working with a trainer and is a dedicated learner. Pitt is making great progress and really thrives with structure, but he’ll still need a home committed to continuing his training and helping him practice relaxing and listening when things get exciting. With consistency and guidance, he has so much potential. Pitt would do best in a home without small animals or cats. For the right active, experienced home willing to keep building on his training, Pitt will be a loyal, playful, and incredibly rewarding companion. All dogs and puppies come spayed and neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fees are $75.00 for adult dogs and $100.00 for puppies at the time of adoption. Our adoptions are done by approved applications, so you must apply and be approved before being able to meet any of our dogs or puppies.
