Hoss

Meet Hoss, a lovable, young American Pitbull Terrier from Concord, NC, whose tan and white coat is only outshined by his big, goofy grin and even bigger heart!

Hoss is the kind of pup who greets every day like it's a party just for him—full of tail wags, excited barks, and the hope that someone nearby is handing out belly rubs. At around 60 pounds, he’s a solid medium-sized sweetheart who’s got just the right amount of energy to keep you on your toes during playtime, then crash into a snuggly snooze when it’s time to relax.

This charming red-nose pit is a total softie with people and especially gentle with young children. His playful nature and love for attention make him a fun-loving companion, and he’s always thrilled to see his favorite humans—even if you've only been gone for five minutes! When you walk through the door, expect a happy welcome full of wiggly excitement.

Hoss hasn’t had formal obedience training yet and could use a little help brushing up on the basics, but with his eager-to-please attitude, he’s a great candidate for positive reinforcement and a consistent routine. While he's a bit unsure around other dogs and hasn’t had enough experience to confirm how he feels about them, he hasn’t shown any aggression—just a little nervous energy that patience and time could help ease.

He’s up to date on his vaccinations and currently has heartworms, so he’ll need a compassionate caregiver who can provide him treatment and support his health journey with love and care. But don’t worry—his joyful spirit is fully intact, and he’s ready to bring so much happiness to his next home!

If you’re looking for a loyal buddy who’s full of love, personality, and the kind of goofy charm only a pitbull can provide, Hoss might just be your guy. Reach out today to learn more about Hoss!
