My story

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

Meet Bebe, a medium-high energy female pit/boxer mix with velvety fur and a perfectly wrinkly face. She is about 3-4 years old, spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.

One of her foster`s favorite things about her is the little mumbles and grumble noises she makes in the morning when she wakes up or the funny little grunts she makes when she follows the sit and wait command during our walks. She can also entertain herself with a toy on her own, and will sort of hop around and pounce on the toy and throw it up in the air for herself in the funniest and cutest way ever.

Bebe has demonstrated a high aptitude for kids and babies alike-- she loves them and is visibly happier and more excited around them, but at the same time, she knows to tamp down her excitement and energy around the little ones. She has done great with other dogs after appropriate introductions. We still need to assess what she will be like around smaller animals such as cats.

While Bebe is shy at first, once she feels safe around you she will literally melt into your arms. Physical touch is her love language, and with time and patience, she will adorably demand to be pet, scratched, rubbed, and just loved on in general.

Bebe needs a family who is active, committed, and experienced with dogs her size. She needs a family who will be committed to continuing to train her so she can continue on her successful journey of becoming the happiest dog she can be! She could use training on reactivity, resource guarding, and anxiety. Bebe has shown progress with being trained in her foster home so far, and we hope this could continue with whoever adopts her!

Bebe is an athlete who needs daily exercise to keep her calm, such as going on hikes or exploring water (apparently also knows how to swim!). At the same time, she`s also good at plopping down and cuddling up with her human.
