About Baker

BAKER (0461) Hey guys, I’m Baker! I’m a 3-year-old male medium bully mix. I tested well with other dogs and I was non-reactive in the cat room. I am a reserved and cautious guy that’s learning to be more confident on walks at the shelter. I would love a calm home that can show me the good life! Apply for me today! ***ADOPTION INSTRUCTIONS- PLEASE READ!*** Kennels are open Monday-Saturday 11-3:00 pm.

About Pit Bull Terrier Dogs

Pit Bull Terriers are strong, athletic dogs with big, goofy smiles and even bigger hearts. Often misunderstood, these loving dogs are among the most loyal, people-oriented breeds you'll find. With proper socialization and training, they're gentle, affectionate companions who adore their families.

Adopting a Pit Bull means giving a deserving dog a second chance - they're one of the most common breeds in shelters. You'll be rewarded with a devoted, playful companion who lives to make you happy. Their resilience, intelligence, and capacity for love make them truly extraordinary dogs.
