Hemlock Pit Bull Terrier Dayton, OH

My name is Hemlock, but you can call me Hemi. I joined the Pit Crew in November after being dumped inside a taped up cardboard box at the shelter doors. One of my siblings even had heat stroke from it being so hot. We were so sick, and being only 3 weeks old, we almost didn’t make it.

It’s been a few months and I am doing great! I am a friendly, outgoing even tempered puppy. Now that I’ve had my vaccines, My foster parents have begun socializing me to new sights, sounds and people, and I am doing well. My adoptive family will need to continue this so I can grow into a confident boy.

I am still a baby so potty training is a work in progress. I am doing well at keeping my crate clean, but don’t like being in there so I still whine a bit, but do settle once the lights go off. I am living with cats and dogs, and love them all. I have also been meeting kids on my adventures and would love a few of those as well.

My adoptive family needs to have another dog in the home to continue my socialization. A younger dog who can keep up with me is best, because I love to roughhouse and use my speedy feet to tear through the house.

We did a DNA test and I am 100% American Pit Bull Terrier. Please research the breed before making a commitment to me. I will be a funny, energetic adult dog, but will need properly trained and managed throughout my lifetime to insure I’m a friendly, sociable member of society.

ADOPTION FEE: $350 (All MVPC dogs are heartworm-tested and on prevention, completely vetted, spayed/neutered, microchipped, crate-trained and house-trained)

I AM READY TO GO HOME!! If you are approved to be my new family, a hold fee of $100 is required and will be applied to the full adoption fee of $350 when MVPC comes to visit your house with me!
