Stella's Info...
| Breed: | American Pit Bull Terrier | Color: | Gray/Silver/Salt & Pepper - With White | Age: | Young |
| Size: | Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg) | Sex: | Female | ID#: | NP0017F |
Stella is 10 months old, spayed, up to date on all vaccines and shots, she takes trifexis for flea and heart worm preventative.
Stella loves to cuddle, will sleep on top of you no matter what. She thinks she's a lap dog. Never shown any food aggression, mostly house broken with the occasional accident, LOVES to chew, crate trained but sleeps in bed at night and loves being under the blankets. She is off standoff'ish towards strangers, she'll cower and try to hide and bark and growl, but give her some love and she's your best friend. She just takes a minute to warm up to people. Never been around children, no cats, and preferably a single dog family. She knows how to sit, stay is a bit of a challenge (she's a wiggle butt and jumper), but with some work I know she'll aim to please. She's a drooler and loves to give kisses. She snores like a freight train and it's the cutest thing. She loves baths and water.
All Nashville PITTIE Adopt-a-Bulls are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested and, if applicable, heartworm free before adoption.
Rescue Group Info...
Nashville PITTIE was founded by Jana Mandes, a lifelong animal advocate. Jana has been a pit bull guardian for most of her life, with an inherent love of animals and a commitment to making a difference for pit bulls and the communities in which they live. Frustrated with always being on the “defense” and seeing the suffering they endure, we decided to take action to improve these animals’ lives as well as the public perception of the dogs that we know as intelligent, playful, and loyal family pets.
Nashville PITTIE is not a rescue in the traditional sense. We noticed a trend in Nashville’s animal welfare community where a lot of wonderful caring folks opened their hearts, homes, and wallets to rescue efforts and almost immediately became overwhelmed with pleas for help. Too often they find themselves in a vicious cycle of having more animals in need than there is help available. Nashville PITTIE ‘s aim is to get ahead of the issue and prevent homelessness, neglect, and abuse before it happens. The best way to achieve that is through community education and promotion of spay/neuter programs.
Nashville PITTIE is an all Volunteer organization. If you are interested in volunteering, please email volunteer@nashvillepittie.org
