Story

Meet Flash, a 3-year-old pit bull mix with a gorgeous chocolate coat that’s as sweet as his personality! Flash is a big fan of tennis balls and squeaky toys, and he’ll happily entertain himself (or you!) with his favorite playthings. He’s crate trained, potty trained, and loves snuggling up with his people, sometimes even hiding under blankets for extra coziness. Flash gets along with some dogs and likes certain cats, but he can be a bit nervous around new people at first—once he warms up, though, he's all love. Flash enjoys car rides and walks in the park, and he’s always ready for an adventure. While he’s a great companion, Flash will need some guidance and training to help him reach his full potential. One thing to note—he's a talented jumper so keeping an eye on him is key. If you’re ready to give Flash the love, attention, and training he deserves, he could be your perfect match! If interested in Flash please call APL or visit their website at apl-shelter.org

His love for play knows no bounds, whether it's chasing after a ball or frolicking with his beloved toys. However, it's recommended that Jagger be the only animal in the home. While he may take some time to warm up to new people, once he's comfortable, he's a picture of calm and contentment. Jagger would be an ideal companion for older children who can understand his boundaries. If you're in search of a loyal and loving companion who embodies the perfect balance between playfulness and relaxation, look no further than Jagger.
