My story

Meet Ghost!Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT)Age: 4 yearsSex: Male (Neutered)Good with: Dogs, childrenHousebroken: YesSpecial Requirements: Experienced, patient home familiar with Bully breedsBackground: Owner surrendered due to homelessnessAbout GhostGhost is a loyal, playful, and affectionate 4-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier looking for a fresh start. Per his previous owner, he’s social with other dogs, good with children, and fully housebroken. Ghost is the kind of dog who thrives on companionship and loves being part of a family.His previous owner cared deeply for him but was sadly forced to surrender him due to homelessness. Ghost is now looking for a stable, loving home where he can settle in and truly belong.Personality and Needs:Ghost is full of life and loves to play. He enjoys spending time with people and other dogs, and he’s always up for a game or a walk. Like many Bully breeds, Ghost can be strong-willed and benefits from consistent boundaries and clear leadership. He will do best with an adopter who has experience with bully breeds and understands their unique temperament.A home with a fenced yard is preferred, and any introductions to other dogs should be done slowly and properly.Ideal Home:*Familiarity with Bully breeds*Patient, structured environment*Active household that includes him in daily life*Willingness to provide continued guidance and positive reinforcementWhy Adopt Ghost?Ghost is house-trained, social, loyal, and ready to become someone`s best friend. After everything he’s been through, he deserves a second chance with a family who will commit to him for life.Interested in meeting Ghost? Please come in during adoption hours for a meet and greet!

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Ghost, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
