Pit Bull Terrier and Boxer Dogs Available for Adoption in Winchester, Virginia

Meet Shyla! ♥️ *Multiple Visits*

Shyla is ready for her new fur-ever home! 🏡 Unfortunately, Shyla was brought in as a stray so we do not have information of her past. We estimate she is approximately 5 years old. Shyla is incredibly shy and is fearful of the world. She has slowly adjusted to the shelter, but still has a long way to go 🥹 She is under socialized and any small thing can spook her. Loud noises, strangers, new environments, fast movements, etc. We have yet to see her full personality, but she is slowly wagging her tail, showing us affection, letting us take her outside and is learning how to be a dog ♥️ She is gentle, and enjoys pets. She is not house trained. She would benefit from further obedience training, socialization and confidence-building. She seems to do well with other dogs. Another dog in the home will most likely help her adjust to a home life. If you have another dog, a meet and greet is required. A fenced-in yard is highly recommended but consistent leash walks in the beginning of her journey would be for the best as she is a flight risk. A quieter home environment with a consistent person at home would be the most suitable. She has been spayed, vaccinated and microchipped.

She has a long journey ahead of her but she is ready for it! 🐾 Come on by and visit with this beauty! 😊
