About Softy

Meet Softy, a delightful young male Pit Bull who embodies the term 'gentle giant.' At 1.5 years old, he’s an amazing blend of softness and strength, weighing in at 52 lbs. You might even call him a marshmallow wrapped in a short-haired exterior. Softy joined us from Chicago Animal Care & Control, and his smooth coat has a surprising level of fuzziness that you have to feel to believe. His personality is just as soft; he is loving, easygoing, and very much the kind of dog who thrives on affection. He’s great with both dogs and cats, enjoys his walks on the leash, and settles well in his crate. Adopting Softy means welcoming a loyal companion who fits seamlessly into family life. He’s a cuddler who’s excited to share his love with whoever is lucky enough to have him. If you’re contemplating adopting a pet that truly feels like part of the family from the moment you meet, Softy could be the perfect fit. You’ll wonder how you ever lived without him, and he'll bring that touch of magic you’ve been searching for. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
