Story
This sweet lady is Tombstone. She is a 2 year old boxer/pit mix. She got her interesting name because she was found running at large in a Peoria cemetery. She completed stray hold at Peoria County Animal Protective Services and no one came to reclaim this beauty. She will help you with yard work picking up all the sticks. She loves sticks, she will drop them nicely when asked. She as very sweet and loving both treat and attention motivated. She has a loud mouth but it is all for show. Give this (not so) little lady a bit of time to warm up and you`ll have a partner in crime.

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 11 mos

Size

Story
To gaze upon this pup is to stare into some incredibly soulful, human-like eyes. You can’t look away and you just have to spend some time with him. At 9- months, he presents some typical puppy behavior but also sits on command with a patient regal pause awaiting his treat. His puppiness shows when he gets a little frisky and wants to nibble with those puppy teeth- totally developmentally normal…. so chewy options are a great pivot to redirect this behavior. He’s a delight! Apply for this handsome boy at tapsshelter.org
