RITA - AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Rita is a 2.5 year old Pitbull/Boxer/Lab mix who is sweet as could be and the perfect size. She loves to play tug, run circles around a field and lay her head in your lap for a scratch. While friendly greetings with people and dogs are always a work in progress, once she gets past it, she’s all love. Rita can be leash reactive and her current guardian's have done a lot of work to improve this and most of her reactions are down to a whimper at this point. She does best when she is given a bit of space to observe other dogs and can shake off and move on fairly quickly. She walks beautifully on leash, has solid recall and is well trained and obedient in the house, including place command, crate training and potty training. ​ Rita does have dog friends and is great once she knows them. We think she could live with other dogs, provided the intros are done slowly. Rita is currently located in San Francisco. Her current guardians are donating several sessions with Rita's trainer (located in Oakland) for anyone interested in adopting her - win win! If you're interested in meeting Rita, please contact Rachel at rdklebangmail or 415-531-7045. California Pit bull Rescue is an official 501(c)(3) and requires an adoption application and $200 donation fee for all adoptions.
