CIABATTA - PIT BULL TERRIER (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier (medium coat). Ciabatta is a super sweet girl with a lot of love to give! She arrived at TJO with some skin allergies that she's currently being treated for, but she doesn't let that stop her from enjoying her favorite toys and people. She loves spending time outside in the yard, but wouldn't be against watching a good movie from the comfort of the couch. OTHER PETS: Ciabatta got along with another similarly-sized dog, but quickly gave appropriate feedback to a dog that was pushy during play. She would likely get along best with another mellow dog that will listen well to feedback and signals, and will let her have her own space. [Case-By-Case (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Someone who has an established relationship with a vet would be the best match for Ciabatta, since her skin allergies are likely chronic and she may need ongoing medications, baths, and a prescription diet. [Some Experience] KIDS: Ciabatta is tolerant with handling and would likely do well with younger kids, however interactions between children and dogs should always be closely monitored to ensure that both parties remain comfortable and safe. [5+ (Must Meet First)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Ciabatta has been a relaxed but playful dog during her stay at TJO, and always loves to run around with her toys! However, it's possible that she may become more energetic once her skin heals and she settles into her new home. Regular exercise and plenty of mental enrichment will help meet all her needs. [Good Walking Buddy] VETERINARY CARE: It is currently unknown whether Ciabatta's skin condition is due to environmental or dietary allergies, so she will do best with someone that has a good relationship with their vet to ensure that she gets the care she needs, even after her skin heals. [Above Average] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Ciabatta not only learn her basic cues, but also help her to bond with her new owner. [Minimal] GROOMING: Ciabatta is currently receiving medicated baths to help her skin heal and encourage new, healthy fur to grow in. It's possible that she may need to continue her shampoo treatments occasionally throughout her life if her allergies were to flare up again. [Routine Bathing]
