Pit Bull Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption

ID 57171413

Eight years. One confused dog. Zero explanation.

Eloise here. I’m 8 years old (about 56 in dog years) and after all this time, I somehow ended up in a shelter… which feels like a pretty raw deal, if you ask me. I’m a little bit of a hot mess right now, but can you blame me? I’m stuck in this loud shelter trying to figure out what just happened.

The good news? Underneath my slightly frazzled situation, I’m a really good girl. I appear housebroken, I take treats gently, and I’m smart. I was very appropriate during my dog assessment with other dogs, and while my opinion on cats is still a mystery, what I really want is a person of my own.

I’m about 45 pounds of sweet, slightly unhinged pitty mix charm — and we’re hoping to get me out of here before “slightly unhinged” turns into full hot mess express. A warm home, a soft place to land, and someone to say “that’s my dog” would mean everything to me.

If you think that might be you, come meet Eloise. The shelter is open, no appointment needed, — the perfect time for a fresh start.
