Ms. Bloom is a beautiful 4-year-old Pit Bull with a heart as golden as her fur. Despite a rough start, she's ready to blossom with a loving family who can provide her with the TLC she deserves. This sweet girl adores people and craves affection. With her gentle demeanor and wagging tail, she'll quickly steal your heart. Ms. Bloom's coat may not be in the best shape right now, but with a little spa time and some quality meals, she'll be shining in no time, ready to show off her true beauty. Ms. Bloom is still learning about the world around her, especially when it comes to other dogs. While she may wiggle with excitement at the sight of them, she can sometimes feel unsure and defensive. That's why we're taking things slow, introducing her to new furry friends one at a time, helping her build confidence and trust. When you take Ms. Bloom for a walk, you'll notice how much she enjoys being talked to and showered with affection. She's a smart girl who loves to learn and please, especially when there are treats involved!
