About

Meet Dover

Meet Dover! A loyal seven-and-a-half-year-old American Pitbull Terrier from Lexington, NC, whose heart is as big as his 65-pound frame and whose gentle eyes hint at the devoted companion he’s ready to be. Dover is a calm, affectionate fellow who thrives in a structured, peaceful environment. With his white coat patched in classic black and a soft spot for cozy napping spots, he's the kind of pup who makes the perfect couch buddy! His favorite pastimes include playing fetch with his beloved ball, going for relaxed strolls, and curling up for some quality cuddle time with his favorite human. House-trained and fully comfortable roaming indoors, Dover loves having his creature comforts, especially a good snuggle spot and the occasional grain-free treat from his special Purina diet. Having completed professional training, Dover is a gentleman on the leash and knows all the basics like sit, lay down, heel, and stay. He’s had successful outings in public settings like Lowe’s, making him a wonderful companion for calm, routine adventures. He takes Trazodone to help manage his separation anxiety and does well when left alone in familiar environments. However, Dover is not a fit for homes with children or other pets. He has shown resource guarding behavior around food, which has led to some serious incidents, so he needs a caregiver who understands canine body language and is committed to keeping his environment safe, consistent, and stress-free. A home with experienced dog guardians—especially someone familiar with behavior management and willing to maintain his structured routine—would be just the setting where Dover can truly thrive. Despite his quirks, Dover is deeply affectionate and greets his favorite people with uncontainable joy. His happiest moments are spent by your side, resting his head on your lap after a game of fetch or following you room to room just to be near. To make sure that Dover has a great start with his new family, we have a canine behaviorist available for a free consultation. Could your home be the calm, caring retreat Dover needs to flourish as the devoted companion he's meant to be? To learn more or apply to adopt him, reach out to [email protected]!
