About Kovu

Kovu is a 3-year-old black and white American Pit Bull Terrier who has spent too long hoping for a permanent home. He's brimming with energy and always ready for play, especially when it comes to a bit of roughhousing or wild zoomies. Kovu is bright, knows how to sit, and shows a real eagerness to please. He gets along well with other dogs, though he tends to take a leadership role during play. For families with children, older kids are a better match since Kovu's play style can be a bit much for little ones. This guy came in as a stray, but it hasn't shaken his bright spirit or his friendly disposition. Kovu is already neutered, vaccinated, flea-treated, and dewormed, so he's ready to settle into a new home right now. Best of all, his adoption fee has been fully sponsored. Give this good-natured dog the home he's been patiently waiting for. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
