Pit Bull Terrier and Hound Dogs Available for Adoption

Beatrice has been with us at the shelter for quite a bit! She is very friendly and very energetic. She is friendly with other large dogs but might be too much for smaller dogs. She gets pretty stressed in her kennel, so she loves and appreciates any break she can get. She is not spayed yet, but has an appointment soon. She walks good on her leash once she gets her zoomies out. She is so ready to find people of her own!
