Jolene - Pit Bull Terrier and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Oxford, Michigan

Jolene may have the cutest little face ever with those adorable white whiskers under her chin. She is estimated to be about 8 years old and weighs 34 pounds, the perfect medium/smaller size friend.

Meet Jolene, this sweet, gentle girl is so loving, and her big brown soulful eyes really get you. She may be a little shy when you first meet her, but underneath that timid exterior is an affectionate, playful pup who just wants to feel safe and loved. Jolene seems to only want to please you. We are truly sad that someone cropped her ears so short, but she is safe with us now and even after going through that, she couldn't be more of an angel.

Jolene absolutely adores belly rubs, leans in for affection, and looks to her people for comfort and reassurance. And don't let her shy side fool you! Once she starts feeling comfortable, her playful personality begins to shine. During her evaluation, she surprised us with an adorable play bow and was just about ready to break into the zoomies! She even seems to understand crate time, happily going right in when asked!

This precious girl doesn't need someone to rush her. She just needs someone willing to give her the patience, confidence building, leadership, and love she deserves. In return, you'll have a devoted companion who will surely appreciate every belly rub and every moment by your side. She will need a home where any children are at least 8 years old with her shy, sensitive nature. She would love it if you came to meet her, she has so much love to give a family.

When introduced to another dog, she was initially hesitant but did warm up enough for a brief, friendly greeting. She was still recovering from her spay surgery and wasn't feeling her best, so we're looking forward to learning more about her doggy friendships once she's feeling better.

If you are interested in Jolene and are at least 21 years old, please come to our kennel during business hours, make an appointment, or fill out an application at k9stray.com and an adoption counselor will be in touch. We look forward to helping you find your new best friend!

*Please check your lease agreements for breed/weight restrictions prior to applying. We also do not do cat testing, so we do not know how a dog will do with cats. Not all dogs are available to go home on the same day you first meet.*

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.

The Pit Bull Terrier is a resilient and loyal breed known for its muscular build and loving nature. Originally bred for bull baiting and later dog fighting, Pit Bulls today are beloved family pets cherished for their gentle temperament and playful personality. With proper training and socialization, Pit Bull Terriers make affectionate companions that thrive on human interaction. Recognized for their strength and agility, these dogs require regular exercise and mental stimulation to channel their energy positively, reinforcing their reputation as devoted and trainable pets.
