Jackie - Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Newark, New Jersey

Jackie is an almost 3-year-old sweetheart who came to our Newark shelter as a stray. She has some nervous energy and can be unsure in new situations, but deep down she's a gentle, loving soul just waiting for someone to give her a chance.

She walks beautifully on a leash, takes treats gently, and loves car rides. Once she feels safe, Jackie leans in for affection and shows just how much love she has to give.

If you're patient and willing to go at her pace, Jackie will reward you with deep, loyal companionship. She just needs someone to believe in her.
