Was my parents dog. My mom passed away in September and my father went to a care facility. Was keeping him till he got out. They moved him to long time care. My dog doesn’t like him. It’s not fair to him that he cannot be free.

Story
She was dumped at the dog park by my work And the county shelter would not pick her up. I ended up getting her out of the cold with the intentions of a foster keeping her, but the person backed out so now she is in my house with my three shepherds, not getting the attention she deserves. I found an amazing organization that got her spayed, chipped and vaccinated with proof and now she is ready to find her furever home. She is good with other dogs just like to play. Please don't over look this sweet young pitbull she is well mannered after getting settled in.
