Pickles - Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Winnipeg, Manitoba

Sex: Spayed
Size: Large
Approximate age: 10 months

This goofy girl is currently accepting applications for her fan club. Payment is accepted in treats, which she will gladly take from you while pretending she wasn't just suspicious of you five minutes ago. The tail starts wagging the second she recognizes her people and every day she gets a little braver.
She has approximately 437% more energy than the average household appliance and firmly believes that greeting people with all four paws on the floor is a suggestion, not a rule.
The fastest way to her heart is snacks. She is wildly food motivated, which means she'll happily learn new things, as long as you're paying in cookies. She would probably solve calculus if hot dogs were involved.
She's still a bit nervous with new people, so she'll need someone patient who understands that confidence takes time but underneath the shy exterior is an absolute goofball who's discovering that life is actually pretty awesome. If you've ever wanted a dog who starts out as "Excuse me, stranger..." and quickly upgrades to "OH MY GOSH IT'S MY FAVORITE PERSON!!" complete with tail wags and happy hops, she's your girl.
