Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Dezik is a handsome 2-year old male American Pit Bull Terrier/American Staffordshire Terrier who was surrendered by his owner on August 1, 2024 along with Dezik's beautiful companion (Laika) since their family was no longer in a position to take care of their beloved pets.
Dezik has a sleek black coat with a large white bib on his chest, a rather long body, a long tail, and an adorable chubby face with dark brown eyes, a splash of white on his muzzle, a blue/charcoal gray nose, and short floppy ears. Dezik has the cutest 'smile'.
Dezik is a happy boy with a friendly, easygoing personality. He was the perfect gentleman when HSOV Kennel Tech Tim Swaney accompanied him for his photo session on August 2nd 2024.
Dezik weighs 65 lbs and walked well on a leash with Tim by his side. Dezik appears to be housetrained.
Dezik will be neutered before being adopted by his new family (a requirement for HSOV adoptions to be finalized). Dezik could be fostered while he awaits his neuter procedure with an approved HSOV foster-/adoption application.
