Dirk Pit Bull Terrier Wichita, KS

Dirk was not given much time. He was transferred from the shelter in Salina and then came down with kennel cough and has since been cleared. We were notified he was looking for rescue on 10/20, and since we do evals on Fridays, we didn't get to meet him until 10/23. During evals, Randi was able to calm him down and handle him with no problems We needed more time to network this boy and find a safe place for him! A few days later he was given a deadline and now he is a Beauties boy.

Dirk is a moderate to high energy dog, highly intelligent and eager to please. He's a total velcro dog and loves to be close to his people. Dirk is great about turning on and off the excess energy to match the energy in his home. He's great out and about in public places. Not recommended for the dog park. Weighing in at 60lbs he's a big hunk and sometimes forgets his size. Due to his size and the energy level he would do best in a home without small children and with a tolerant female dog. He is very dog friendly but is rambunctious and can be irritating to some dogs. Dirk lives with 3 cats and does fabulous with feline siblings. His foster mom and him run on a regular basis and he loves to play ball! He behaves himself inside a 4ft fence, doesn't bark, dig, or act out with the neighbor dog. He's waited patiently for over a year with his foster mom, looking for that perfect active match!
