Pet personality / Story of adoption / Why is your pet special?
Jillie was adopted from our local shelter as a puppy and he loves loves loves our cats.

Like most Pit Bulls he is a rugged guy, strong, energetic, agile and very powerful. He while he can show his determination at times , he also is very adaptable and loves to get long walks, pulls you along w/him (haha) and as much exercise as possible. And we like that. IN addition Jillie can be very easy going like a couch potato with us for hours on end watching our favorite shows.

Most people know Pit Bulls are strong dogs and can be quite focused getting too whatever they set out to do, Jillie literally will put his heart and soul into it – and that includes climbing into our laps to shower us with kisses. He is so much fun, has a great sense of humor and Jillie makes us laugh like no other dog we have ever lived with.
