Description
Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier (short coat). Adoption Fee: 410. TOOTSIE ROLL (watch my video!) Female ~1-1/2 years old Pit Bull Terrier 45 lbs. Microchipped, up-to-date on core vaccines and takes monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention Good with dogs, untested with kids or cats Meet Tootsie Roll Tootsie Roll is ~1.5 years old — short but mighty, and overflowing with heart. She’s a tender soul who can be a little shy at first, needing just a bit of time and reassurance to know she’s safe. But once she does, her whole personality blossoms — and you’ll see just how loving and loyal she truly is. When she’s comfortable, Tootsie Roll’s joy is contagious. She loves playing with her toys, racing around the yard with her foster brother, and then curling up on the couch for a cozy snuggle. She’s incredibly gentle in everything she does, and she walks beautifully on a leash — happy to stay close to her person’s side. Tootsie Roll has amazed us with how quickly she learns. She figured out how to use the dog door all on her own just by watching her foster brother — no training needed! She absolutely loves mornings and gets so excited to see her humans. Her favorite way to say good morning is by rubbing her lips and cheeks all over us — it’s her special way of showing affection. And when she plays or eats, she makes the sweetest little piggy noises that always make us laugh. She’s growing in confidence every day and continues to surprise us with her gentle, curious, and loving personality. We think that Tootsie Roll would thrive in a calm home, especially with another friendly dog who can help her feel confident and show her the ropes. She’s learning every day that the world isn’t so scary, and that love and kindness are all around her. Tootsie Roll may start out shy, but once she trusts you, she’ll be your truest friend — affectionate, playful and full of love. She’s such a special little dog, ready to find the home where she can finally exhale and know she’s safe, cherished and home for good. ❤️ Interested in adopting? Of course you are!

Overview:
The American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT) is a robust and intelligent breed, originating in the United States from crossbreeding Old English Terriers and Old English Bulldogs for dog-fighting purposes. Physically, they are medium-sized, known for their muscular build, broad heads, and powerful jaws, typically weighing between 30-60 pounds. Their coats are short and come in a wide array of colors. Temperamentally, a well-socialized APBT is often described as loyal, affectionate, and people-oriented, displaying a playful and sometimes clownish demeanor. They can be excellent family companions, provided they receive consistent training and early socialization, though their high energy levels mean they thrive with active owners. While they can adapt to apartment living with sufficient exercise, a house with a secure yard is often preferred. Notable health considerations include a predisposition to hip and elbow dysplasia, allergies, and certain heart conditions.
