About Travis

Travis showed up at the shelter after his stray hold ended and quickly made an impression. He’s a large, solid Pit Bull Terrier with a ton of personality and plenty of enthusiasm. At around 2 to 3 years old and 65 pounds, he’s got the energy and strength of a young adult who’s just discovered how much fun the world can be. Travis doesn’t have the most refined manners yet—think bull in a china shop—but he’s already picked up the basics like "sit" and isn’t bad on a leash. He genuinely likes people and is happiest around them, flashing a big goofy smile. Travis really thrives with regular exercise and benefits from structure. He’s best as the only pet, since he doesn’t get along with cats and needs to be the main focus. He could do well with kids over 8 who are used to big, bouncy dogs. For an adopter who’s strong, active, and wants a fun project, Travis brings a lot of charm to the table. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
