About Hoosier

Meet Hoosier, an adult male Pit Bull Terrier currently in Hagerstown, MD. At around 56 pounds, he's got a gentle demeanor but tends to be a bit fearful, so he will need time and patience to come out of his shell. Hoosier enjoys leisurely walks and is always eager to explore new surroundings. He loves squeaky toys and, once comfortable, will appreciate being petted. While he's not ready for a forever home just yet, as he’s waiting for neutering, he's looking for a patient adopter to come meet him. A home with teens and adults would suit him best, as younger kids might be overwhelming. If you have a dog, feel free to bring them along for a meet-up! Hoosier would love to start his journey with his new best friend!
