Ajax (28500/0048) Pit Bull Terrier Manassas, VA

* Male/intact
* 6 years
* 59 pounds
* Owner surrender

Ajax was surrendered to the shelter because of a bite. As we understand it, Ajax found and was chewing on a firework/firecracker while on the bed, and in trying to get it away from him, the owner was bitten. For this reason we recommend a dog-savvy home without children.

We think Ajax is a very nice calm gent who walks well on leash, will respond to basic commands and enjoys company. He also is quite the model and enjoys having his picture taken! A calm and quiet environment might be just the thing for this fellow, and possibly working with a trainer to establish a positive routine.

Please note:

At this time, our dog kennels are open for general visitation without a prior appointment. We will, however, be limiting the number of persons in the kennel area at one time, and we appreciate your patience.

Visits with cats and/or critters still require that an appointment be made in advance. To schedule your appointment, please call us at (703) 792-6465, or email us at animalshelter@pwcgov.org.

All persons will be required to wear a face mask when visiting the PWC Animal Shelter. This requirement complies with Governor Ralph Northam's Executive Order No.63 (https://bit.ly/2AnqGXd).
