Hi, I’m Ted!
I’m a handsome 10-month-old pit bull mix and I need a home! I’m a big boy and I still have some growing to do so I’m looking for a home that won’t mind a big puppy running around.
I’m very smart and know how to sit for treats, but because of my age I would really benefit from some positive reinforcement training to help me learn some other tricks and build my confidence!
If you’re looking for a big boy to join your home I might be the perfect fit!
Contact the Humane Society of Southern Arizona Main Campus at 520-327-6088 ext. 173 to check on my availability.
Lots of love,
Ted (831723)

Pit bulls do not make good family pets. Pit bulls were BRED in old England for the specific purpose of killing each other in dog fighting pits for blood sport with gambling. Don’t gamble with your family members’ lives or become a pit bull statistic. There are many wonderful breeds and mixes of dogs who need loving homes. There is no need for pit bulls at all.
Amen Mary.
