My story

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


Meet Blanca – Sweet, Snack-Powered, and Ready to Leave the Kennel Behind

Blanca is a 9-month-old female pit bull with a soft heart, a friendly personality, and a very strong belief that treats make the world go round. She’s a nice, manageable size and loves human attention—pets, praise, and snacks are all happily accepted. She knows sit, has basic training, and is very treat motivated, making her eager to learn and easy to work with. Blanca is gentle when taking treats and, after a little exercise to get her wiggles out, she walks nicely on a loose leash. Her previous owner reported that she is crate trained, rides well in the car, and is friendly and playful.

Blanca can be stressed in the kennel, but once she’s outside, her affectionate and social nature really shines. She enjoys being petted and seeks out connection with people. She has shown positive, dog-friendly interest through the fence with multiple dogs, and a meet and greet is recommended to help ensure a great match. Blanca is a young, loving pup who’s ready for a home where she can relax, keep learning, and finally settle into the life she’s been waiting for.
