My name is Cindy Lou!

Meet adorable Cindy Lou, an American Pit Bull/American Staffordshire Terrier mix that arrived as a stray at the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 4/11. Cindy Lou weighs 46 pounds and is about 2 1/2 years old. This attractive girl with the cutesy ears has such a nice personality and calm nature. She knows the sit command and will do so for treats which she takes politely. She walks well on a leash. It appears she has recently had a litter. Cindy Lou has a moderate activity level. She spent much of the time during the photo session playing Sherlock Holmes and covering pretty much every square inch of space in the yard. She is friendly and is ok with receiving loving attention. Cindy Lou is a playful girl and enjoyed playing with toys. She does jump on you but it seemed to be in connection with receiving treats. Of course this is a behavior that will need to be corrected. She pottied in the yard so is possibly house trained. She has a dry scaly patch of skin on her hind quarters. By the looks of her fur she seems to have lived as an outside dog and wants her new home to be one in which she will be allowed to live inside with her people and be an integral part of their lives.
