My story

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

Meet Fendi – The Fashion-Forward Goofball With a Soft Side

1 year old • Female • Pit Bull Mix

Fendi lost her home because her previous family had to move, and this sweet girl ended up starting over through no fault of her own. She came in with another dog, and while she sometimes goes back and forth between being friendly and a little reactive with other dogs (even her former roommate), her previous owners say she was great with dogs at home. Shelter life can be a lot, and it seems like she just needs a calmer environment to show her true self.
On leash, Fendi is strong and will pull, but pop her into a harness and it’s a whole different story — she settles down, especially once she’s had a little time to decompress outside. She knows sit, takes treats gently, and is friendly with people. And when it comes to affection? Booty scratches are her love language.
Her former family shared that Fendi was housetrained, had obedience training, loves the car, didn’t try to escape, and was friendly with adults, kids, and other dogs. Basically, she arrived with glowing references — just temporarily overwhelmed.
If you’re willing to give a young, energetic girl a little patience and consistency, Fendi is ready to strut into your life and prove she’s more than just a pretty name.
