Meet China, an American Pit Bull mix that arrived at the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 2/28 as a stray. She is approx 2 years old, weighs 45 pounds and is spayed. China doll was abandoned by her owners and arrived at the shelter in bad shape--emaciated (at 31 pounds), with extremely long nails, and with urine stains on her legs, paws and hind quarters undoubtedly from sitting in urine in a kennel. She was fearful and nervous. Fast forward 2 months and you wouldn't recognize her as the same dog. She is fun-loving, playful, friendly and confident. She has filled out, has a healthy-looking coat and is ready to be adopted or rescued by someone that will give her a better life than she's had. China has an exuberant personality, is affectionate and is happy to be loved on. Perhaps her faith in human beings has been restored. Can you tell China doll has become a fave of mine?
