Doberman Pinscher and Pit Bull Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Chicago, Illinois

No means no.
Unfortunately it also was the reason Zuma was surrendered. She scratched the male dog in the house after he tried to mount her. Zuma told us boys drool and toys rule. This girl might be a senior in years but she has puppy playful energy. Give her a toy bin and she is satisfied for the day. Zuma deserves a second shot in a safe home where she doesn’t have to fend off unwanted boys.
