Meet Acton the American Pit Bull Terrier Mix 🐾

To adopt Acton, visitors can speak with staff or volunteers at CACC about whether he is currently available and what remaining medical steps may still need to happen before he is ready to leave the shelter. Some dogs are able to go home quickly while others still require surgery followed by recovery time.

Interaction opportunities may happen outdoors in enclosed yards or inside quieter rooms depending on staffing and shelter activity that day. Some visitors spend time walking with him while others focus more on relaxed one on one interaction during the visit.

People preparing for adoption may want to think ahead about where the dog will sleep, how introductions with existing pets will be handled, and whether someone can spend extra time at home during the first several days after adoption.

For households with children, some families also choose to bring older kids during the visit so everyone involved in the decision has a chance to interact with Acton directly.
