My personality

My story

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

Meet Neela!

A graceful six-year-old American Pitbull Terrier currently in Noblesville, IN, whose calm, loving nature and soulful eyes are the perfect recipe for heartwarming companionship wrapped in a beautiful blue and tan coat with snowy white accents.

Neela is the kind of dog who makes every day feel a little warmer just by being near. At 75 pounds of gentle loyalty, she’s the ultimate best friend! Mature, affectionate, and deeply bonded to her humans. Her favorite activity? Simply being by your side. Whether it’s a quiet evening curled up on the couch or a joy-filled car ride, Neela is happiest when she’s sharing her time with her people!

She has a solid foundation of house manners and knows a full repertoire of commands like sit, stay, come, down, wait, and “go to bed.” Crate-trained but usually free to roam at home, she snoozes throughout the day and follows a predictable routine that includes morning yard time, an evening walk, and a 10 p.m. bedtime. While she has been known to indulge in a little counter surfing now and then, her overall demeanor is calm, respectful, and steady. No puppy chaos here!

Neela is great with kids aged six and up and generally friendly with other dogs, though she does value her personal space. In social settings, she prefers polite introductions and calm energy. While she’s not aggressive, she has confidently set boundaries when another dog crossed her comfort line. She hasn’t had much experience with cats, so a slow introduction would be wise if one is in the picture.

She’s in excellent health (spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, house-trained) and has overcome earlier anxiety to become a secure and trusting companion. Neela thrives with consistent companionship, making her especially compatible with people who work from home or have flexible schedules.

If you’re looking for a deeply affectionate, loyal, and well-mannered dog who will be your shadow and heartmate, Neela is ready to meet you! Are you the new loving family who can give Neela the calm home she needs to keep shining?
