Meet Acrobat the American Pit Bull Terrier 🐾

Helping Acrobat leave the shelter could begin with a simple visit to Chicago Animal Care and Control. Some dogs seem completely different once they are outside and able to relax during one on one interaction. Watching him explore the yard, accept treats, or settle into the visit may help you imagine what life together could look like at home.

Depending on the weather and shelter activity that day, visits may happen in one of the enclosed outdoor spaces or inside a quieter meet and greet room. Some visitors spend the interaction walking with him while others simply sit nearby and get to know him in a calmer environment.

Volunteers are usually available during visits to answer questions about adoption, fostering, and rescue partner programs. For visitors interested in fostering, rescue organizations may provide food, supplies, and veterinary support during placement.
