My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bull Dog / Pitbull Mix
Age: approx. 5-6 years?
Female, spayed
50 lbs

Adoption Fee: Donation (includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations)

Maribel was picked up by Piedmont Animal Control from an overgrown vacant lot. She was hiding in the underbrush. She was underweight, very lethargic and shutdown. At the shelter, she just laid in the back of her kennel, not really responding to anything, seemingly depressed. She had just given up any hope for a good life.

After two weeks, the Oakland shelter made the decision to euthanize her. The animal control officer who found her called us to help. We secured a foster home and had her checked by our vet. You could tell that she had been bred multiple times, who knows how many litters. Her teeth were ground down, but her blood work came back pretty good (some anemia). She got some TLC and rejuvenation before we scheduled her spay surgery. The surgeon confirmed that her uterus was trashed from so many litters. She would not have been able to get pregnant again, which is probably why she was dumped on the streets.

Maribel is a very sweet, healthy dog, who seems to get along with everyone (people, dogs, cats, etc.). Since her surgery, she has more energy and a zest for life, but she is still a gentle soul. She should be successful in just about any type of forever home.
