About Speed Run

Meet Speed Run, a spirited 4-year-old Pit Bull Terrier ready to find his new home. He came to us needing urgent vet care due to an embedded collar, but he's recovering well and eager for a fresh start. Speed Run is best as the only dog, as he does not get along with cats or other dogs. This lovable guy can be a bit shy around new faces, so a household with children aged 10 and up would be ideal. With some patience, he’ll blossom into a playful companion. His energetic, jumpy personality shines once he feels at ease, making some basic training essential to help him learn good manners. If you’re ready to give this resilient pup a safe and joyful home, Speed Run is looking forward to starting his next adventure with you.
