About Ghost

Ghost is a deaf, 8-year-old white Pit Bull Terrier mix who’s spent most of his life waiting for a real home. He’s fixed, up to date on shots, and microchipped. Ghost takes kennel guarding very seriously and should always be introduced with care, outside of his crate, to help him feel safe and understood. Once he gets to know you, he’s deeply loyal—a true companion who’s just looking for someone who’s patient and consistent in their communication. Ghost must be the only pet in an adult-only household and needs someone willing to meet him where he’s at: direct, clear, and respectful of his boundaries. He loves walks, running, and outdoor play, thriving when he can stretch his legs and take in the world around him. Despite years in the shelter, Ghost hasn’t lost his sweetness. He’s ready for a chance to let down his guard and just be a beloved family member. Born May 2, Ghost is a steadfast Taurus—devoted and steady, if given the chance. Ready to fall in love?
