Mackenzie - Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Springfield, Illinois

Mackenzie is only about 6 months old.
. She is a little bitty pitty mix and she sure is a sweetheart. She’s got lots of puppy energy but she settles down quickly with a chew toy, an ear scratch, and a belly rub which seems to be her favorite. She walks pretty good for a young pup and really just loves laying out in the fresh air and sunshine with a toy. She would make a great companion and new friend.
