About Slim
Slim narrowly escaped the euthanasia list in Manhattan, and now he’s in Oceanside, NY hoping for a real shot at stability. He’s a gray and silver 9-year-old pit bull terrier who’s come a long way, but still carries the baggage from his stressful past. Slim is neutered, house trained, and current on vaccinations. Despite everything, he’s eager to connect and forms strong bonds once he trusts you. He does best with structure, predictability, and someone who understands that trust takes time. Slim has resource guarding behaviors—especially around food or favorite items—and prefers not to share his space with other dogs, cats, or children. He can be wary of men, especially when he feels cornered, and benefits from clear boundaries and gentle, consistent reassurance. An experienced adopter or foster would be ideal, but you’ll have access to a professional trainer to help keep progress on track. If you can give Slim the calm, understanding home he needs, you’ll find a deeply loyal companion underneath the tough exterior. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
