🧠 Temperament
Affectionate, people-loving and often startlingly goofy — pit bull type dogs are typically very social with humans. Dog-to-dog tolerance varies a lot by individual, so the rescue's observations matter more than the label.
🎾 Exercise
High — 60+ minutes daily plus chew and puzzle outlets. They are strong and benefit from structured training.
✂️ Grooming
Very easy. Short coat, minimal shedding, thin coat means a winter jacket.
🏙️ In a NYC apartment
The main obstacle is paperwork, not the dog: many buildings and insurers restrict pit bull type dogs, and enforcement is based on appearance. Confirm your building's policy first.
