Denver Pit Bull Terrier & American Staffordshire Terrier Mix Phoenix, AZ

Meet Denver!

Denver has a sad story. When he was about 4 months old he was found in a volunteers yard and taken to Arizona Humane Society because of a leg injury. They did not think it was fixable, our vet thought it was. So we pulled him back to the shelter.

Denver was on crate rest for six weeks. This guy has springs in his back legs so keeping him contained was a whole lot of fun! Once Denver had the all clear we got him all spruced up and ready for adoption. That was 9 months ago! He has not had one person come to see him. We don't understand how this could happen. He is a pocket pitty, adorable, and has his basic manners in check. You really can't ask for a better boy!

Denver loves with all his heart. Sometimes he gets a little protective of his people but that is easy to correct. He needs a family that will make him behave. He is like a teenager, if you give him a little, he will take a lot! He would benefit from working with a trainer. Its really hard growing up in a shelter. Puppies need to be in a home while they are young. We did the best we could but it doesn't replace a family. He can be dog selective but overall he is pretty good.

Denver is 1 year old and around 30 lbs

Denver is ready for his forever home he is neutered, chipped, and UTD on vaccines. He has had a 4DX test and is negative for heartworm and tick disease.
