Pretty Girl - Female Pit Bull Terrier Mix

Pretty Girl and her sister-pup Jasmine were seized from an empty home by our HLE officers more than 2 years ago. It was not known how long these lovely girls had been alone in a house with no heat no lights and no food but once they were brought to the shelter these girls quickly became healthy and very beautiful. Pretty Girl is a big pup at about 65-70 pounds with an unusual soft brindle coat and beautiful eyes. When she was first with us Pretty Girl was terrified of human contact which was understandable given her being abandoned alone with no one but her sister. She has made wonderful progress though she is still very timid and does need time with each person she meets but once she knows you she comes around and just loves to be by your side. She has special volunteers who buddy up with her and held her become more confident and outgoing. She s really gentle on a leash even though she is so big and she walks very nicely right by your side. She LOVES a good run when the weather is cool enough. She adores winter and we have seen her spend lots of time chasing snow as it falls and dive-bombing into big drifts. Her ideal home will probably be with adults only or possibly teens since her family will need to be very patient with her to help her be learn to be comfortable and trusting. We know she was very bonded to her sister Jasmine and she may be okay with another pup in the home but for new canines like everything new to Pretty Girl it would take time for her to be comfortable. Its time Pretty Girl finds a forever home where she can be loved and can love her people and get to play a little and become a couch potato as she gets older. She s still very athletic but at 7 years she also would like to just chill and watch TV too ... More Info
