American Pit Bull Terrier : : Male (neutered) : : Young : : Large
Darwin is a confident teen ready to take on the world! And, like any teenager, he really would appreciate a helping hand to figure everything out.
He loves people, especially when they're up for a game of tug, soccer, or throwing sticks in the back yard. He's curious about kitties and thinks they smell awesome--he's not shy about waltzing right up to give them a good sniff, so if you have shy cats, they may need a slow introduction.
Since Darwin is as smart as his namesake, he loves to be challenged and takes really well to training. In just a couple short weeks with his foster, he's learned Sit, Off, Wait, Leave it, Drop it, OK (to start playing), Kisses, and we're working on lie down.
Dar-dar-binks would be so thankful to live in a home where he could get all the love and play a young pit bull could handle. You'll be rewarded with a smart and caring companion, who will curl up and watch a movie with you after a game of tug.
