Story
I am 92 lbs of pure LOVE! I am the classic pittie - I love to snuggle, love to play, and love to adventure! Walks are my favorite thing but they're not for the faint of heart, I'm a strong puller! That's something we can definitely work on together, I am food motivated and eager to please. I have so much affection to offer, I insist that the staff give me some snuggle time on a daily basis! More than anything, I would love to have a family and bed to call my own.Since I'm a pittie girl the shelter asks that any potential family own their own home, any kids in the home be over the age of 12, no cats, and any dogs in the home be the opposite sex. Let me be your next snuggle buddy!

Story
If you were to bottle up happiness and put it into a dog, that'd be me! I'm a total love whose eager to make new friends of all shapes and sizes. When I go out for my walks, I have to stop everyone in the hallway to make sure they say hello to me! I like cats, I like dogs, and I love people. Unfortunately, my background is a bit of a mystery and has left me with some issues. I have masses present in both of my ears, my skin wasn't well taken care of, and the folds of my face were left very dirty. With the love and care from staff and vets, I'm on the mend! While the simple stuff is being taken care of now, my ears are going to be a longer process to figure out. I barely even notice it's an issue, however, I'm still as happy as can be!I'd do well just about anywhere as long as you're prepared to love me 24/7. I don't take breaks - I need snuggles all the time!
