Adopt a Pit Bull Terrier (medium coat)
SMILEY the Dog needs a home
Smiley came to us as a stray and he is ready to find his forever home. He was previously tied to a dog house so he would love a home where he can lay on the couch and be comfortable. He is one of the most handsome dogs we have seen in a long time! Please consider this hunk!
SASF volunteer Jocelyn writes about her friend Smiley:
`Smiley came in as a stray after being found tied to a doghouse. He''s happy and wiggly and wags his tail patiently until you open his kennel door. He sat nicely for treats and let me leash him up. When I took him outside he pulls on the leash but I found out that talking to him and keeping his focus allows him to tug less. I would stop him and focus his attention on me, made him sit, and then proceeded to walk. He was much easier to handle and we both really enjoyed our walk together. We went back to his kennel when we were done and he can get a little excited and try to sneak out, but again get his attention and he listens. Such a sweet boy even though humans have failed him. Come meet Smiley!`
