Pit Bull Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Bloomington, Indiana

Red is a super sweet girl who came to the shelter extremely underweight with nine newborn puppies. Her foster family reported that she thinks she is a lap dog and loves meeting new people including school age children. She is extremely well house-trained and knows basic commands like sit, shake, and stay. She is still working on greeting people politely (eg not barking and jumping) and is fearful of the vacuum cleaner, people holding sticks, and loud noises.
Update from new foster: Red is super active and affectionate. Loves cuddling and going on long walks. More confident and trusting of new visitors. Housetrained and does a good job of telling her people when she needs to go out.
