Meet Fudgesicle, an adorable 1-year-old female Pit Bull with a charming chocolate coat and a heart full of sweetness. This lovely girl is shy but curious about the world around her. She gains confidence from the company of other dogs, making her a great companion for a household with canine friends. Fudgesicle isn't particularly affectionate with people just yet, so if you're looking for a cuddle buddy, she might need some time to warm up. Fudgesicle has a playful spirit and loves to run, so a fenced yard is ideal for her to hop around like a deer. With plenty of puppy energy, she will keep you entertained with her antics. She's crate trained, though it's not her favorite place to be, but she handles it well and has no accidents. She has shown good behavior around cats, not chasing her neighbor's cats along the fence. Fudgesicle has a sweet tooth for treats, doggy donuts, and doggy ice cream. Patience is key with this sweet girl as she continues to blossom. Watching her transformation has been a joy, and she's sure to bring that same joy to her forever home! Please note Fudgesicle is currently residing in a foster home. If you are interested in learning more about Fudgesicle or scheduling a meet and greet, please email our foster team at foster@cuyahogacounty.us today!
