Pit Bull Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Eloise, a 41-pound bundle of sunshine and happiness who is about 3 to 4 years old and absolutely devoted to people. This happy-go-lucky girl has her priorities straight. Treats are fine. Toys are fun. But people? People are the greatest thing in the world.

Eloise greets everyone with her famous helicopter tail, wagging in a perfect circle like she’s trying to generate pure joy. It works every time. You cannot help but smile when she locks eyes with you and starts her happy spin.

She has quickly become a staff and volunteer favorite thanks to her sweet, cuddly nature. Eloise is a professional snuggler who will happily curl up right next to you, press in close, and drift off into the cutest little snores. Quiet moments with her feel warm, peaceful, and full of love.

If you’re looking for a best friend who will adore you with her whole heart and remind you every day that you are her favorite person in the world, Eloise is ready to fill your home with smiles, snuggles, and nonstop tail wags.
