Pit Bull Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption

Ember is a 1–2 year old, 30–35 pound sweetheart who always looks like she’s smiling. She’s a happy-go-lucky, smaller-size girl who loves people and brings a cheerful, easygoing presence wherever she goes.

Ember is affectionate and people-oriented, and while she loves everyone, we suspect she may have picked a favorite — DCO Dave. She happily flops over for belly rubs, curls up beside him, and even tries to snuggle into his beard. It’s hard not to love a dog who loves this hard.

She passed her initial dog assessment and did well, though she was a little shy with new dog friends in the yard. Her feelings about cats are currently unknown. Ember is looking for someone who sees her, meets her, and thinks, “That’s my dog.”

Come meet Ember anytime — the shelter is open and no appointment is needed.

Her adoption fee includes spay, microchip, vaccines up to date, a $100 training voucher, and a spa day at Hounds and Hops.
