Nutcracker is a 2.5-year-old pit bull mix with a joyful spirit and a heart that melts as easily as her name suggests. After arriving as a transfer from Chicago Animal Care & Control, she’s settling in beautifully and is now ready to find a family of her own.
This sweet girl is a perfect blend of playful energy and gentle affection. She loves spending time with people, enjoys outdoor adventures, and is always up for a good cuddle session afterward. Nutcracker’s expressive eyes and wiggly enthusiasm make her impossible not to fall in love with.
She’s eager to learn, responds well to positive attention, and would thrive with someone who enjoys engaging with their dog—whether that’s training games, walks, or just cozy time on the couch.
Nutcracker is looking for:
A loving home that will give her structure, companionship, and plenty of affection
Someone who appreciates a loyal, people-oriented dog
A family excited to help her continue blossoming with positive reinforcement and routine
If you’re looking for a wonderful companion with lots of love to give, Nutcracker is ready to crack your heart wide open—in the best way. 🐶❤️
