Andre is a handsome gray Pit Bull mix who is just 10 months old and searching for a loving forever home. This sweet young boy came to us underweight and malnourished, but thanks to proper care, nutritious meals, and lots of kindness, he has been steadily gaining weight and learning that life can be good. Despite his rough start, Andre has shown himself to be a resilient and deserving dog with so much potential. Andre can be a little nervous when meeting new people, especially men, and may need some time to feel comfortable in unfamiliar situations. He does best when people allow him to approach at his own pace and give him the chance to build trust. Once he realizes he's safe, his sweet personality begins to shine through, and he enjoys being around the people he knows and loves. Like many Pit Bull mixes, Andre is affectionate, loyal, and eager to be part of the family. Pit Bull-type dogs are often known for their strong bonds with their people, their intelligence, and their enthusiasm for life. At just 10 months old, Andre is still very much a puppy and will benefit from continued training, socialization, and positive experiences as he grows into adulthood. Andre previously lived with other dogs and may do well with some canine companions. As with any dog, proper introductions are important to make sure everyone is a good match. Because he experienced food insecurity early in life, he can be a little protective of his meals and appreciates having his own space to eat. This is a common behavior in dogs who have known hunger, and Andre is learning that food is no longer something he has to worry about. As a young, active dog, Andre will thrive in a home that can provide regular exercise, mental enrichment, and plenty of opportunities to spend time with his family. He is looking for patient adopters who will help him continue building confidence and show him that the world can be a safe and happy place.
