Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Disco!
Disco is a 1.5-year-old Pit Bull mix who weighs about 60 pounds. She’s an energetic lady who loves to play with her toys and is always ready to go on a walk to explore outside.
Originally found running at large, Disco came to us in need of some TLC. Because of her past, she can be nervous when meeting new people—especially men—and she needs some time, space, and plenty of treats to feel comfortable. Once she knows you, though, she’s quick to show off her snuggly, affectionate side. Staff loves her playful nature, gorgeous coloring, and adventurous spirit.
Disco seems upset by other dogs and doesn’t enjoy interacting with them, so she would prefer to be the only dog in her forever home. While she’s getting more comfortable passing dogs on walks, at home she definitely wants to be queen of the castle! She has also been around cats in the past and chased them, so she would likely do best in a cat-free home. Because she can be sensitive and nervous, Disco would thrive in a home with older teenagers who can give her the space she needs while building trust with her new family.
Once Disco knows you, she’ll stick right by your side through it all.
If Disco looks like the perfect pup for you, come meet her at the Humane Society of Summit County, 752 West Portage Trail, Akron, OH 44313, or call us at 330-487-0333 ext. 803 to learn more!

All of our adoptable animals are up-to-date on all age appropriate vaccinations, spayed or neutered, de-wormed, de-flea and microchipped before adoptions are finalized.
