Description

Meet Hermes!
At 62lbs and 8 ½ years old, this APBT proves that age is just a number! This handsome, active guy is looking for a family that can keep up with his adventurous spirit and give him the secure home he deserves.
Hermes came to the shelter because he`s a talented escape artist, so he`ll need a securely fenced yard and/or an adopter committed to keeping him safely contained while outdoors by himself. His curiosity and love of exploring are part of what makes him such a fun companion!
According to his previous owner, Hermes is house-trained, does well in a crate, and has lived successfully with both cats and other dogs. He`s also wonderful with children and loves being part of family activities. Whether it`s running around the yard with the kids, splashing in the water, or joining you for a car ride (he happily buckles up!), Hermes is always ready for the next adventure.
After a day of fun, Hermes has a softer side. He loves to snuggle and has an adorable habit of burrowing under a weighted blanket for the coziest naps. He`s the perfect mix of energetic playmate and affectionate cuddle buddy.
If you`re looking for a companion who can keep up with an active lifestyle but is just as happy cuddling up at the end of the day, Hermes might be your perfect match. With a little management for his escape-artist tendencies and lots of love, Hermes is ready to be a cherished member of his forever family.

    Breed info

    The American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) is a dog breed recognized by the United Kennel Club (UKC) and the American Dog Breeders Association (ADBA), but not the American Kennel Club (AKC). It is a medium-sized, intelligent, short-haired dog, of a solid build, whose early ancestors came from the British Isles. When compared with the English Staffordshire Bull Terrier, the American Pit Bull Terrier is larger by margins of 6–8 inches (15–20 cm) in height and 25–35 pounds (11–16 kg) in weight. The American Pit Bull Terrier varies in size: males are normally about 18–21 inches (45–53 cm) in height and around 35–60 pounds (15–27 kg) in weight, while females are normally around 17–20 inches (43–50 cm) in height and 30–50 pounds (13–22 kg) in weight. According to the ADBA, the American Pit Bull is prescribed to be medium-sized and has a short coat and smooth well-defined muscle structure, and its eyes are to be round to almond-shaped, and its ears are to be small to medium in length, typically half prick or rose in carriage. The tail is prescribed to be slightly thick and tapering to a point. The coat is required by the ADBA to be glossy, smooth, short, and stiff to the touch. Many colors, color patterns, and combinations of colors are acceptable to the ADBA, except that both the ADBA and UKC do not recognize merle coloring. Color patterns that are typical in the breed are solid and tuxedo. Despite the colloquial use of the term "pit bull" to encompass a whole category of dogs and the legal use of the term to include several breeds in legislation, some conservative professional breeders of the American Pit Bull Terrier as well as some experts and supporters claim that historically the APBT is the only true "pit bull" and the only breed that should be denominated as such. Twelve countries in Europe, as well as Australia, Canada, the United States, Ecuador, Malaysia, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, Singapore, and Venezuela, have enacted some form of breed-specific legislation on pit bull–type dogs, including American Pit Bull Terriers, ranging from outright bans to restrictions and conditions on ownership. The state of New South Wales in Australia places restrictions on the breed, including mandatory sterilization. The breed is banned in the United Kingdom, in the Canadian province of Ontario, and in many locations in the United States.
