Delores - Pit Bull Terrier and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Atlanta, Georgia

Meet Delores: A Survivor with a Heart Full of Love

Empty-nester Delores is ready to start her next chapter. After raising 8 happy, healthy puppies who have all found their forever homes, it’s finally her turn.

At about 2 years old and 45 lbs, Delores is housebroken, and crate trained. She’s making great strides with leash walking every day. Don’t let her serious-looking photos fool you—this sweet girl is playful and affectionate, and she loves her naps and chill time just as much as chasing a tennis ball (which she’ll even bring back for another toss!).

Delores gets along well with her foster’s two "grumpy old man" dogs and would enjoy a fun-loving furry friend in her forever home. However, she’s perfectly content being the center of attention too. While her compatibility with cats is unknown, she’ll definitely keep your yard squirrel-free!

Because of her playful nature, Delores would thrive in a home with older children who can match her energy and enjoy cozy snuggles afterward. A quiet, loving family with a yard to run in would be her dream come true.

Delores has overcome incredible challenges, including being rescued from a squatter house with over 20 other dogs. Despite her past, she’s a testament to resilience and loyalty. Now, this gentle soul is ready to give her whole heart to a family who will cherish her as she deserves.

Delores is currently in a foster home, awaiting the perfect forever family. Could it be yours?

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

The Pit Bull Terrier is a resilient and loyal breed known for its muscular build and loving nature.

Recognized for their strength and agility, these dogs require regular exercise and mental stimulation to channel their energy positively, reinforcing their reputation as devoted and trainable pets.
