My personality

My story

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

Meet Cindy!

A devoted almost nine-year-old American Pitbull Terrier currently in Denver, CO, whose heart is as big as her famously wiggly behind and whose blue-and-white coat glows like a winter sky.

Cindy is a champion cuddler, a certified greeter of guests (with kisses and tail wags galore), and a firm believer that no moment is complete without a little snuggling! She adores humans of all kinds and is especially gentle with respectful kids over 10. With a calm and steady daily routine, this sweet girl thrives in a quiet, structured home where she can be your loyal shadow and forever nap buddy.

At 68 pounds of pure affection, Cindy is beautifully house-trained, never destructive, and has a solid command vocabulary. She knows “sit,” “stay,” “down,” “place,” “shake,” “no,” and “leave it.” She’s the kind of dog who won’t chew your shoes, won’t beg at the table, and will always ask politely to go outside. Short 10- to 20-minute strolls are her jam, and once she’s gotten in a good sniff or two, she’s happy to spend the rest of her day lounging beside you or playing tug-of-war with her beloved squeaky toys.

Now, about those dental treats, prepare yourself. Cindy has a passion for oral hygiene that borders on obsession. One shake of the dental chew bag, and she’s sprinting over with eyes wide and tail in hyperdrive! It’s the kind of joy that only a dog who truly loves the little things can bring.

While she’s deeply affectionate with people, Cindy needs to be the only pet in the home. She’s fearful and reactive around other animals and has worked with trainers and behaviorists who all agree she simply prefers a pet-free environment. She’s not aggressive at heart, she just doesn’t quite know how to share her people or space with other furry companions. During one past interaction, a dog got too close to her face, and Cindy responded with a bite. This incident helped confirm that, while she adores people, she truly thrives in a calm, pet-free home where she can feel safe and secure.

If you’re looking for a soulful sidekick who will smother you with love, keep you laughing, and never turn down a snuggle or a treat, Cindy is ready to meet you!

Additional adoption info

Our ultimate goal is to unite as many animals with loving pet parents as possible, so we strive to make it easy to adopt a dog or cat you have fallen in love with. All we ask is that you fill out an adoption application so that we have all the information we need to determine that you'll be able to provide a safe and compassionate home to one of our rescued pets.
