Story
My name is Woofus and I am a brown brindle pit bull. I am a neutered male and I am 4 years old. I am at the shelter because I was found as a stray on 02/26/2024. I am potty trained. I am a high energy dog and I will need an owner with some prior pet owning experience. The shelter staff is not sure if I am used to being crated during the day, although I do well in my large kennel at the shelter. I do pull on my leash when being walked and need to work on my manners, so basic obedience training would be good for me. I do already know some basic commands like `sit` and `shake`! I would like a standard height fence to help keep me inside the yard, or lots and lots of walks on leash to help me burn off my energy. I can be good with men, women, and children over 10 years old. I can be good with other dogs and I cannot live with cats. All dogs are tested for heartworms and given flea preventatives. They are also tested for intestinal parasites and receive routine dewormings. Dogs are vaccinated against distemper, rabies, and bordetella, spayed/neutered before adoption, and have a microchip. Adoption fees include the initial automated registration of the microchip at the time of adoption.

Story
Titus is a 7 year old brindle pit, he’s been in the same home since he was 6 weeks old. He is a wonderful dog with a fantastic personality. He is a happy and loyal companion and loves to cuddle! He is fully housebroken, so no worries there. Titus has a hard time adjusting to new circumstances, he has anxiety when people come to the house to visit and he is curious and overly cautious if the visitors are young children. We have a very active household with people often coming and going so we would like to find Titus a more quiet home. If you want a fun loving, and loyal dog, and you have a quiet life without small children, Titus is the dog you want! He has so much love to give but would be best fit with a couple that has the time to work with him on being around children.
