Dutch is an absolutely adorable four year old chocolate male American Pit Bull Terrier. This handsome bully boy is having to be re-homed by his owner of 3 1/2 years because of an illness; Dutch's owner has the late effects of polio and does not have the strength to properly care for Dutch, so in his best interest, another home needs to be found for Dutch ASAP. Dutch's owner has given us a deadline to place Dutch by the end of March, so he desperately hopes someone will come along and see what a great boy he is, and offer him a forever home and a life full of pampering and spoiling! This sweet boy had a broken leg when he was two, and has a pin in his leg; there are no complications or future medical needs for this, but he does have a slight limp when he runs after playing hard- it's a cosmetic issue only, but we do want to make sure a potential adopter is aware of the cause of the limping.

This energetic boy would benefit from an active parent/family who can offer him sufficient exercise. Dutch's favorite pastime activities include long walks, car rides, playing in the water, and rolling around in the grass, showing off his goofy side. He's also quite fond of cuddling, belly rubs, and kisses (giving and receiving). He's affectionate, intelligent, and ever-so-loyal- a smart boy who just wants to please. He's made it clear that he enjoys being spoiled, pampered, and loved. Dutch enjoys toys, loves treats, and loves car rides; he also has great leash manners. He makes no complaints about being handled all over or having items removed from his mouth- he's just glad to get the attention. Dutch enjoys the company of children, though sometimes gets so excited that he jumps, and is currently working on training not to jump- but he loves kids SO much, it will take some additional work to break this habit. He also interacts well with cats and with other dogs, though due to the Pit Bulls' tendency for same sex dog aggression, Dutch will not be placed in a home with other male dogs.

Dutch is housebroken and crate trained. He has been neutered, vaccinated, fecal tested and dewormed, heartworm tested negative and kept on heartworm prevention, and microchipped. There is a $175.00 adoption fee to partially reimburse the organization for the veterinary expenses listed above. Dutch is looking for an INDOOR home, ONLY: we do not adopt to homes that will keep our rescued Pitties outdoors and/or on chains, runners, or in fences, kennels, pens, etc- If you cannot/will not provide an indoor home for our Bullies, or are looking to breed/fight, do NOT contact our organization (or apply for adoption) regarding Dutch or any of our rescued Pit Bulls. Application, adoption fee, home checks, references, and contract are REQUIRED for adoption. To be considered for adoption, please fill out and submit an Application for Adoption BEFORE contacting us directly.
