VEGAS's Story

12/12/25 17:49 Meet Vegas, a 1 year old 66 pound male American Pit Bull Terrier. Vegas is a sweet boy who is very people friendly, attaches quickly, rides well in the car and walks well on leash. He checks in on his humans quite often and is an expert critter tracker, make sure you have a good hold on the leash if you are anywhere near lizards or squirrels! This sweet boy would love a family who will take him on great adventures, after a 5 mile hike he still had plenty of energy! 09/23/25 09:27 Vegas was showing high fas in kennel, boucing off walls and against kennel door, barking. He is currently on behavior medications and has shown improvement with his kennel anxiety on medications. Needs rescue. Able to remove kennel without issues, allows invasive handling and examination - much of fearfullnes is kennel/barrier associated. 11/04/25 What did we do on today’s adventure: I got to spend time with 2 <br/>new friends! I was soooo excited for my first outing from the shelter <br/>that I showed off all my wiggles! We went for a long walk on a trail <br/>and I made sure my new friends saw all the lizards and squirrels that <br/>I saw, no one let me catch them though. We also saw lots of <br/>people and bikes and other dogs. I like other dogs, but I was more<br/>interested in continuing my sniffies and walking. I really liked my <br/>new friends and kept a close eye on them while we walked – one of<br/> my friends walked further ahead and I did get a little worried, but <br/>she came back! After the walk we rode in the car again and I got in<br/> some good relaxing time before I went back to the kennel. <br/>What should potential adopters know about me: Vegas is a sweet boy <br/>who is very people friendly, attaches quickly, rides well in the car and<br/> walks well on leash. He checks in on his humans quite often and was <br/>concerned when he could not see both of us. Vegas is an expert <br/>critter tracker – make sure you have a good hold on the leash if you <br/>are anywhere near lizards or squirrels! In the car, he was very easy –<br/>jumped right in was easy to clip int the seatbelt and he sat nicely for<br/>the ride. This sweet boy would love a family who will take him on <br/>great adventures – after a 5 mile hike he still had plenty of energy!<br/> Three words to describe me: Happy – Energetic - Silly
