Peter is a resilient and affectionate adult American Pit Bull Terrier who has blossomed since arriving at the shelter. He enjoys making friends with staff and volunteers, seeking gentle physical interaction. Peter is mostly independent with other dogs and would thrive as an only pet or with relaxed canine companions. Due to his arthritis and tendency to be grabby with toys, an adult-only home or one with children over 13 is ideal. He needs a balanced routine of physical activity and mental stimulation, along with consistent positive reinforcement training.
