My name is Momma!

MOMMA - Available for Adoption in Illinois
One-on-one love. Fiercely loyal. Ready to be your everything.

Momma is a 4-year-old female pit mix who’s potty trained, crate trained, and knows all her basic commands. She’s deeply loyal and wants nothing more than to love and protect her person—but she needs the right home to thrive.

Momma is currently with her owner, who loves her deeply but can’t keep her due to her reactivity with other dogs. She needs a home where she’s the only pet, with no other dogs, no cats, and no children. She’s not aggressive toward people, but she gets fearful and tense when young kids run up or try to pet her from above.

Momma is a great match for someone who lives alone or in a quiet home without a lot of visitors. She bonds deeply and becomes very protective of her person—she just wants to feel safe and know who she belongs to.

Right now, she doesn’t get much exercise—just one walk a day and some time in the yard. She’s slightly overweight but would love a routine where she can safely stretch her legs and get in some movement with you.

She’s not a dog for every household—but for the right person, she’ll be everything. If you’re looking for a loyal shadow, a cuddle buddy, and a protector, Momma is waiting to meet you.
