IRIE - PIT BULL TERRIER DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier. Irie is a 1-year-old, 50-lb brindle beauty who wants to play! She is a highly lovable, intelligent, and energetic dog who is discovering the joy of cozying up with humans (especially if she can sneak into your lap!). She’s a high-energy pup who loves tug-of-war, chew toys, and rolling around for belly rubs. Occasionally she gets the zoomies or can be a little mouthy, but it’s typical puppy behavior—and she’s learning fast! She will thrive with a patient, active adopter who can continue her training and help her feel safe and loved. A fenced yard is ideal for her to burn off energy in a secure space. After being found as a neglected stray, she’s come a long way with her foster family—she's potty trained and crate trained, learning basic commands like “sit” and “stay,” and has attended a dog training class while in our care. She is crate-trained and enjoys relaxing in her crate but prefers to be near people—she’s happiest with company and doesn't like being left outside alone. Indoors, she’s respectful (only counter surfing once) and always stops when corrected. Irie hasn’t lived with other dogs, cats, or children, but she’s shown calm curiosity when seeing other dogs and has ignored cats at the vet office. A proper introduction is recommended with future cat or human siblings. She has been receiving a monthly Cytopoint shot for allergy symptoms and is otherwise a healthy and active dog. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’s equal parts cuddly and playful, Irie might just be your perfect match. She’s ready to leave her past behind and start her new life—with you.
