JACEY - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / American Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed. Jacey is a 1.5-year-old, 56-lb Lab/Bully mix with a joyful spirit and a heart full of love. Sweet, playful, and easy to live with, she’s the kind of dog who quickly feels like part of the family. While no pup is perfect, with a little continued training Jacey will be very close! Jacey loves her toys (seriously—she loves toys) and enjoys interactive play with her people, but she’s also great at entertaining herself. She’s respectful in the home and leaves things that aren’t hers alone—even plush decorations and holiday décor on the floor. She’s housetrained and understands that potty time happens outside, even if she doesn’t follow a strict schedule yet. Handling is a breeze with Jacey—she’s happy to have her paws wiped, be brushed, or soak up all the affection you want to give. An athlete at heart, she sprints, gallops, and twists herself into adorable “pretzel” positions for belly rubs. When playtime is over, she’s all about cuddling on the couch and makes an excellent snuggle buddy. Who needs an electric blanket when you have Jacey? She is crate trained and does wonderfully both during the day and overnight. Jacey is non-destructive, doesn’t jump, and knows basic commands like sit and wait. Overall, she’s a very manageable, loving companion. Jacey enjoys colder weather and absolutely loves playing in the snow. Loud, unexpected noises (like plastic bags or passing cars) can make her a bit nervous, but she doesn't mind the vacuum, roomba and even NYE fireworks. She can be shy when meeting new people and does best with slow, calm introductions, so a quieter home with older children would likely suit her best. She has some prey drive and will chase birds and rabbits, so a fenced-in yard is needed—especially since she loves to run. Jacey has shown curiosity in other dogs and did well with dogs at the shelter, but she is not currently fostered with another dog. She was also cat tested and didn’t seem bothered, so with proper introductions and a dog-savvy cat who won’t run, coexistence may be possible. She is still learning she doesn't need to pull on the leash, but with consistent training, her leash skills and confidence will continue to grow. Jacey is a lovable, playful, snuggly girl who just needs the right home to truly shine. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will warm your heart (and your couch), Jacey may be the one. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and is available for adoption now through Paws Across Pittsburgh, Springdale, PA KL# 16182.
