Story
This poor beautiful sad defeated dog is coming from Ohio to Virginia on a truck. He got the dog from someone he knows in Ohio who just literally wants the dog dead . I honestly don't know if this dog is aggressive or not she says yes and it apparently started when she was recently spayed which also has caused the dog to now be unhouse trained. I think all this baby needs is good training and vet care and lots of love but again I don't know if it's truly aggressive. There should be no kids or other pets. They want to shoot it or dump it at a truck stop or just dump at a vet and be put down. Please someone help this dog. You can just look at her and see how sad she looks. He said she hasn't been aggressive with him on the truck but she's terrified.

Kokomo is a 6 year old Pitbull mix weighing 45 pounds. He is a sweet boy who was rescued from the Chesterfield Animal Shelter. We do not know much about his past but he does have a tendency to be territorial. We are looking to find him a home with plenty of space to run around with those who will love and care for him. FYI he loves to snore.
