Delilah - Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Horn Lake, Mississippi

Meet Delilah: Delilah is about a 1 year old (as of June 2026) pit mix that weighs about 34 pounds. Delilah was a stray that was picked up in the Memphis area and taken to a shelter. When our volunteers were at the shelter to pick up another dog, Delilah stole their hearts; they kept thinking of the engaging, adorable, and puppy-eyed dog in her kennel. We heard she was reaching the end of her time at the shelter and had to step in to pull her into our rescue. Delilah is currently being fostered in the south and would love to take the freedom ride north to Pennsylvania to meet more prospective families. Delilah is described as “such a cute little potato”. Delilah is a super sweet, loving, patient girl! Delilah is a gem in the car and enjoys tagging along for adventures. Delilah attended an adoption event on a college campus and did wonderfully in a large crowd with hustle and bustle. She was happy to get attention and was happy moving from lap to lap of everyone interested in snuggling. Delilah didn't mind being touched all over her face and moving from place to place around campus. In her foster home, Delilah is fine with the large number of other dogs around and even allowed 3 puppies that had recently lost their mom to adopt her as their surrogate mother of sorts! They follow her everywhere and she dotes on them! We have no doubt that Delilah would make a great family pet! Delilah had a bath and although she didn't seem to enjoy it, she was quite calm and didn't try to run from it. Delilah sleeps beside her foster's bed at night and is very laid back and friendly. Delilah is currently house trained to a doggie door and may need patience while learning a new process. We would love for Delilah to have a home with a fenced in yard for her to run and play freely. Delilah is up to date on her shots and spayed. Delilah had tested heart worm positive, but has completed treatments and is good as new!
