My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Appalachia, a three year old Pittie that arrived as a stray a few weeks ago. Poor girl was filthy and it was apparent that Appalachia has had several litters of puppies in her lifetime. She looked so sad and defeated when she arrived. She quickly perked up and enjoyed all the care and love she received with staff. She loves her bathes and got extra treats and nomms to help her gain weight. She's a very docile girl and has met several dogs while in our care and didn't seem to mind cats. Appalachia enjoys playgroup but is too mellow for all the rough housing and ruckus. It seems like she hasn't had a lot of typical dog experiences and is learning that it's okay to play with toys and zoom about. She's not timid at all, just lacks the confidence. With reassurance, she'll learn it's okay and experience the life of an indoor, family dog. Her adoption fee is $235, which includes her vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, heartworm test, current heartworm/flea prevention, and registered microchip. She is already fixed!
