Eevee - American Staffordshire Terrier and Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Champaign, Illinois

Meet Eevee, the sweetest little 1-year-old Staffordshire/pittie mix! Eevee came to us with a severe skin condition caused by demodex mites, and was completely bald! Eevee has since been on the mend, and is ready for a new home. She is a very friendly girl and is excited when meeting new people. We have her listed as "dog selective," because although she did great with the other dog in her foster home, she was less than enthusiastic about meeting other dogs here. Come meet Eevee at CCHS!

Eevee is a STAFF FAVORITE PET! Here's what Animal Care Staff A.J., has to say about her:

"When Eevee came to us she was closer to a raisin than a dog with her entire body being void of hair and covered in scabs. Despite her incredibly difficult path to recovery, she has been nothing but an absolute sweetheart to everyone in the shelter and has always been a very social girl. Seeing her now highlights all the amazing work that has gone into getting her back up to snuff by both the staff here at CCHS as well as our wonderful foster volunteers. Eevee is a super sweet girl who loves a good snack and scratches. She would most certainly make a wonderful addition to almost any home."
