Our 6 year old Pitbull is a lovable, cuddly pup that is in need of a new home. We are expecting our second kid and my husbands new job is leading to him traveling for week several days/week. We don’t live near family and don’t feel like we are able to provide the love and attention our boy needs to thrive.
