My story

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


Meet Sugar- a young pit bull (1 Year) sweet heart with a tragic tale. Me, and my mom rescued Sugar from strangers attempting to surrender her as a puppy to a local kill-shelter.

Sugar is a wonderful dog, and got along with my families children and other dogs well initially. Problems began developing when my mom was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer last year. Sugar was my moms dog, and she was unable to provide sufficient care for Sugar whilst going through Chemo.
Sugar shows some behavioral issues, she has mild food aggression/resource guarding issues towards other dogs. I firmly believe that with proper training and scheduled meal times, this problem could easily be mended. However, we no longer have the luxury of time to do such.
My mom passed from her illness 3 months ago, my Dad now has to surrender my Moms dog. I desperately need a home for this pup, so she does not have to face a shelter. Sugar is fully healthy aside from a cherry eye- Id help pay for removal
