FRANCINE - AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIER DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier. , , . Francine came to us from our friends at Caitie’s Foster Fam Rescue in Texas after being found as a stray during the holidays. She’s traded shelter life for couch life, and let’s just say… she prefers the couch. This girl is , , . She loves: • Curling herself into your lap like she weighs 8 pounds • Following her person from room to room • Short, slow walks with excellent leash manners • Puzzle toys and anything involving food • Car rides, she naps the whole time Francine is potty trained and thriving in a routine. She adapts quickly to new environments and settles in fast. She walks beautifully unless she spots something she thinks might be food, because . She’s been very sweet with kids 5 to 10 years old. Babies who cry and drop snacks are a little too exciting for her, so a home without infants would be best. She has shown strong interest in cats and would not be a match for a feline home. She has lived around other dogs and has been neutral to friendly, but she makes it clear that . Francine does not love being left alone. She would thrive with someone who works from home, can bring her to work, or just genuinely wants a shadow with wrinkles. She is happiest when she is near her person. If you’ve ever said, “I just want a dog who wants to hang out with me,” this is your girl. She knows sit and come, is very food motivated, rarely vocal, and snores like a tiny grandpa. She’ll wedge herself into your arms, raise her paw for attention, and expect full eye contact while you tell her she’s perfect. : Apartment or house is fine. Regular walks. Strong leash handling. No cats. No babies. Lots of together time. Lots of snacks. Lots of snuggles. If you are ready for a built-in best friend with wrinkles, loyalty, and Olympic-level cuddling skills, .

However, they may already be pending an adoption, and their profile may not yet reflect this. • All information is accurate to the best of our knowledge as of the posting date. • Unless explicitly stated, Sandy Paws Rescue does not guarantee the breed of any dog. Breeds listed are educated guesses made by shelter staff, volunteers, or veterinarians. Many of our dogs are mixed breeds, often with pit bull-type genetics, resulting in a wide variety of physical traits and temperaments. Our dogs come from various situations, such as kill shelters, owner surrenders, or as strays. It is likely both parents were mixed breeds as well. Sandy Paws Rescue does not have a public shelter in Massachusetts. Our dogs reside in private foster homes or boarding kennels in the South until adopted. Many dogs are spoken for prior to transport or release from state-mandated isolation. For information on adoption fees, procedures, or FAQs, visit our website: .sandypawsrescue.
