Blondie is a very cute blonde Shepherd/American Pit Bull Terrier mix with tall, alert ears, warm brown eyes, and a lean, athletic build that makes her look larger in photos than she actually is in person. Her sleek cream coat and expressive face give her a striking look, and there is something endearing about how much smaller and daintier she seems once you meet her in real life. She was found as a stray and arrived at Cobb Animal Services on July 8th, and at 1 year old, this sweet girl is just about done growing, with only a little filling out left to do.

Blondie is a sweet, gentle girl who takes her time warming up to new people, and she already knows how to sit, showing off a great foundation of training and a genuine eagerness to learn. She is working on being extra gentle when taking treats, which will come along nicely with a little consistency and positive reinforcement.

There is something wonderfully rewarding about a dog like Blondie - watching her grow more comfortable and confident with each passing day is a joy in itself, and the bond she builds with her person is likely to be an especially close and loyal one. Her sweet, easygoing nature makes her a lovely companion for someone looking to build that connection together.

At 1 year old, Blondie has so much of her life still ahead of her, and she is waiting in Kennel #853 with those tall ears and that sweet, gentle spirit, ready for the home where she can settle in and truly shine.
