My story

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

Dog Name: Delilah
Age: 5 months
Gender: Female
Breed: Pit Bull Terrier mix
Weight: 25lbs
Crate trained: Yes
Potty trained: Yes with a schedule
Dog friendly: Yes
Cat friendly: Yes
Kid friendly: Yes
Vaccinated: Yes
Spayed/Neutered: Yes
Heartworm: Negative
Microchipped: Yes
Energy level: Medium. Would do best in a home that averages 2, 30 minute walks and some play daily. Other than that, she loves her naps!

The best way to describe Delilah (also known as “Lilah” or “Deli meat” in her foster home) is one little walking cuddle puddle. She’s soft, both in her spirit and in her coat; she’s confident, but not wreckless; she’s incredibly trainable. Her ears are the size of satellites and I’d put money on her being able to hear what’s going on an entire galaxy away. The only interruption in the sound waves reaching her noggin might come from the plethora of snorts and grunts she makes doing seemingly anything. It’s beyond adorable. She ’s like a little piglet! As a tiny baby angel, Deli is currently in her “all or nothing” stage, where she’s either playing with her foster brother and toys or taking a FAT nap in your lap. She’s a perfect coworker to her foster mom when she works from home, and like a little shadow will follow her people everywhere. She’s a puppy, so Delilah likes to play and is still learning to navigate the world around her. You wouldn’t guess she was a puppy if you heard her sleeping though. She sounds like your old man in a recliner when he’s “just resting his eyes”.

Delilah defines “personal space” as the space that you and her take up together. She loves to be right wherever you are. She hasn’t met a human, dog, or cat she hasn’t immediately wanted to befriend, and has even play bowed at a lamp post. Seriously. She’s working on her leash training and excelling, knows commands “sit” and “crate” well (she’s a smart cookie), and is currently working on “stay”, “down”, and “drop” cues. She’s amazing in the car, perfect in the bath, super cat and dog-friendly, doesn’t react to kids of any age that we’ve seen, doesn’t bark nor has shown any concerning destructive behaviors (other than sometimes collecting our shoes without damaging them), and is so eager to please. She’s house-trained as long as she sticks to a routine (which is standard for her age) and will not potty when crated nor overnight. She could work on basic puppy training skills like being mouthy during playtime and being left alone, along with anything specific to your routine or home. But overall, Delilah is a sweet bundle of joy that would be the perfect addition to any home environment.

Anything that we’ve thrown at her she has exceeded all expectations. Delilah would thrive in a home with owners that could continue her basic training and give her a solid routine or structure as she’s still learning. She would likely do best with a family that spends more time at home than not given her needs for training, but also because she genuinely just loves being around her people. A medium energy dog, Delilah LOVES playing with her dog foster brother, playing tug of war, or chewing on a hard bone. But when nighttime comes around, you better love cuddles and have an empty lap to spare otherwise this is not the gal for you.
