D23-01 Khan, American Pit Bull Terrier For Adoption In Columbia, Pennsylvania

Location:

Columbia, PA

Description:

Khan is a very handsome young pit bull looking for an active/structured house. Having been abandoned at the shelter, we don't know any specifics about his background. We do know that he LOVES humans and craves attention! Khan is extremely energetic and very strong. When we first met him he had absolutely no manners. He can get overstimulated and will jump or nip to get your attention. He has completed Intro-to-Training class twice and walks with a Gentle Leader and a chest harness. He will benefit greatly from continued consistency with his training and commands. He is very smart, and he shows that he can absolutely be a good dog with consistent handling (and the right yummy incentives). He has been started on Prozac and is much calmer and able to process his surroundings much better now. His loves are car rides, walks, swimming, and PEOPLE! At 65-70 lbs his strength can be difficult to handle. His jump has a 5-6 foot clearance from standing! Khan has not shown any signs of aggression toward other dogs but he does forget his manners in an effort to play with them. We have not specifically cat-tested Khan, but he has been in our lobby where he can see cats and he is very interested in them. We suspect that he would chase anything smaller than himself. Khan is currently being treated for a hind leg joint injury and may need surgery in the future if conservative treatment fails.Adoption processYou must provide proof if renting, that you have landlord permission to have a pet.
