LUCIUS Pit Bull Terrier Springfield, MA

OTHER PETS: Lucius was interested in other dogs and can get excited around them. He would do well with another calm dog who is confident enough to redirect him appropriately. As with all our dogs, Lucius should meet any dog he would be living with prior to adoption. [Case-By-Case (Must Meet First)] **cut short due to cough** OWNER EXPERIENCE: Lucius is a very laid back dog that would likely be a first dog but someone with experience with older dogs and their needs would be best prepared to help Lucius as he transitions into a stately older gentleman. [First Dog / Some Experience] KIDS: Lucius is a friendly, calm dog who loves pets and would likely get along with all kinds of humans. Because Lucius has some major dental work coming up, his best fit would be with humans who were able to give him his space to heal up and adjust to his new living arrangements. [10+ (Must Meet First)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Lucius has short bursts of play that might make you think he was younger than he is, but he is also a fan of making sure he has a good rest after playtime. Daily walks would be a good way to get some calm, low key exercise that would allow Lucius to keep engaging in playtime for many years. [Couch Potato / Good Walking Buddy] VETERINARY CARE:**Major Dental Needed** [Above Average] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Lucius bond with his new owner as well as ensuring he has a mastery of basic commands and behavorial expectations. [Moderate] GROOMING: [Minimal]
