My name is Cadence!

Cadence may be small in size, but she’s mighty in spirit! At under a year old and weighing in at just 35 pounds, this little pocket pittie is ready to take on the world after a tough start. Found as a puppy on the side of the road after being hit by a car and suffering a broken leg, Cadence has proven herself to be one tough cookie. She’s fully healed now and eager to leave her past behind and start a new chapter with a loving family.

Despite her rough start, Cadence has a heart full of love and energy. She’s playful, affectionate, and always ready for adventure! While she can be a little too much for some dogs, a meet-and-greet is required to ensure she’s the perfect fit for your pack. But don’t let that deter you—she’s a sweet girl who just wants to find her place in the world.

Cadence is potty trained and knows her commands, making her a great fit for a family who will appreciate her playful yet well-mannered nature. If you're looking for a small but tough pup who’s full of love, fun, and resilience, Cadence might just be the perfect addition to your home!
