Sweetie - Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Cool, California

This is Sweetie! She is a 1 year old pitbull who has a heart of gold

History:
Sweetie was transported to Oregon after Show Me Your Pitties Rescue pulled her from the euthanasia list at the Lancaster LA shelter. She was brought to the shelter in May 2026 after being found as a stray. She was still lactating milk, but no puppies were found with her. She was also found underweight

Sweetie is currently being fostered in Lake Oswego, OR.

-Sweetie loves people
Despite what may have happened to her, Sweetie yearns for affection and closeness to humans.

-Gentle

-No issues having her nails clipped

-Good on the leash (not reactive and doesnt pull)

-Potty-trained (she does only go potty off leash so you will either need a fenced yard or some other fenced off area near you where she can go)

-Other pets
Sweetie would most likely be okay living with other animals that are mellow and laid back (with VERY slow introductions)
Sweetie is extremely shy so she would most likely do best as the only pet or with other animals that give her plenty of space to warm up and are not going to be too in her face.

Special Needs:

-Shy/Timid
Sweetie is still very nervous about the world around her. She needs a foster/adopter who is willing to take things slow and be patient with her

-Weight Gain
Sweetie is still needing to put on more weight. We had a vet appointment last week and I was told she needs to gain about 7 more lbs. She had no issues eating/drinking water! Just needs someone to feed her slowly throughout the day to help her put on more weight

-Spay
Sweetie has a spay surgery scheduled for 7/17/2

Despite her struggles, Sweetie is just as sweet as her name suggests!
