SUSAN - Pit Bull Terrier and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Orlando, Florida

From her foster: She has such a chill personality. Loves to lay on a rug or on a cool tile. When she's in the mood for it, loves a good scratch, especially on her belly. She is such an affectionate, kind, protective and loyal dog! She will follow her person everywhere. Does really well with other people in the household and can be left in a room by herself for a while (if I had to go to the garage and left her in the bedroom, she would just hangout or sleep until I returned). She rarely barks and I have never seen her bite furniture or tear apart any item (she would rarely bite the chew toy I tried to redirect her to). She can be kind of weary on walks when she sees other dogs or random cats in the area; she will stop and stiffen, but she can be redirected from a standoff or engaging with other animals. She is a really lovable dog and once she gets her allergies and behaviors managed (does need some basic training when it comes to jumping and being mouthy), I feel she would be a great dog for anyone and could even be a great family dog.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
