When most people hear the words Pit Bull the first thing they think of is vicious or aggressive, that's because they never met Elmer.

Elmer is a Spuds Mackenzie look alike and is a 2 year old Pit Bull who had a rough start in life. However since he's been at the Animal Welfare Society things have gotten a lot better. He is an active dog who hasn't had any training and needs to learn how to behave properly, and would be great in a home where he can be part of the family. He get's along well with other dogs and people, (so much for that Pit Bull stigma) and would love to cuddle with you in his new forever home.

Now let's meet Elmer:
