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

Description

Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier (medium coat). Nena is currently in a foster home. If you would like to meet her, please call the shelter to set up an appointment. From Nena's foster ~ `I wanted to let you know what a little delight Nena is! She sleeps uncrated all night and is housebroken. I can see why you like her so much. She naps alot but likes to follow me around when I go outside. Rides good in a car. Everything I'm seeing is nice with a tad on the shy side. She is a real easy keeper. I love having her here.` Nena is seeking a patient home experienced with positive reinforcement training to provide her with the support and love that it will take to relax into a routine and start the next part of her life's journey on the right foot. She is a fearful dog who is very affectionate once she feels safe enough to trust that she won't be hurt. OTHER PETS: Nena is a low key, medium energy dog. In the past she lived successfully with other dogs. At the shelter she was polite but mostly disinterested in other dogs. Her foster has had the same experience, noting she looks at the neighbor's dogs and then walks away to mind her own business. She may enjoy living with a canine companion with a similarly calm, polite demeanor and should meet any dogs she would be living with prior to going home. [Case by Case] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Nena was initially very worried at the shelter, sitting quietly and observing the happenings. She became an office dog and quickly blossomed, becoming very affectionate and easy to hang out with and enjoying walks around the shelter property. Her foster experience has been similiar. A previous owner confirmed there was abuse in her early history and she can be head shy, so an owner willing to go slowly and reassure her that she is safe is a must. [Some Experience] KIDS: Nena can be head shy and slow to warm to new people. Once comfortable her foster mom notes she can be very playful and loves playing tug and can play on the rougher side. Children with the ability to take and follow instruction about appropriate interaction would be a good fit. (Children 10 plus) VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] GROOMING: [Routine Brushing]
