In the shelter’s words

BRONX (watch my video!) Male, neutered ~3 years old Pit Bull Terrier 55 lbs. Microchipped, up-to-date on core vaccines and takes monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention Good with dogs and kids; untested with cats ​Bronx — The Chonky Meatball With a Heart of Gold Bronx is the chonkiest lil guy with the squishiest cheeks, and once you've given them one gentle squeeze, you're done for. This sweet "meatball" has come out of his shell, and the happy, confident pup he's become is pure joy. Bronx loves meeting new dogs and people and will trot right over to say hi, leaning into anyone who offers pets. Once he gets comfortable, he may even roll over for a belly rub. He's done well meeting kids too, greeting them with the same sweet, wiggly enthusiasm. He's also a great dog-dog! He gets along well with the dogs in his foster home and has been a star at adoption events, happily meeting new dog friends. Bronx's greetings are legendary: a big, slow stretch followed by the cutest happy spins when he knows it's walk time. Sometimes he gets so excited he grabs whatever is nearby and tosses it in celebration. Out on his sniff-walks, he waddles along with pure curiosity and joy, taking in the world and enjoying being outside with his person. Then it's home for a round of zoomies. He loves his toys, whether he's settling in for a good chew or playing his own game of fetch: tossing a toy, then chasing it down himself. Peanut butter is his love language, and he'll happily spend his day with enrichment toys, treats, and long sniffy strolls. He can get a little overly excited in the moment, but he's easy to calm and eager to follow your lead. When the fun winds down, Bronx turns into a total softie. Give him a neck massage when he's sleepy and he'll rest his head right in your hands, all smushy and content. He's happiest snoozing at your feet, snoring softly as you work or relax. If you want a happy, goofy, snuggly companion who will make every day sweeter, Bronx is ready to meet you! Interested in adopting? Of course you are! Submit an application here!
