Name: July

Sex: Female

Estimated Age: About 2-3 years old

Best Guess for Breed: Pit Bull Terrier

Weight: About 45 lbs (should be closer to 60 pounds when she’s a healthy weight)

Good With: Dogs, puppies, cats and people (including kids). She’s good with everyone!

Story: July was rescued from a shelter locally in Washington, DC. July is a super sweetie who loves people and gets along great with other dogs and puppies. She can be a little shy at first, but warms up quickly and knows just how to get comfortable up on the couch with her humans, and will love to join you on walks and trots around the neighborhood. July is just looking for someone to be her new best furend and we know that she will repay them with endless amounts of love and tail wags. Even though July is no longer a puppy, she will need an adopter who is committed to setting her up for success by enrolling in obedience training and exercising her both mentally and physically. She will also need love, patience, and socialization in order to thrive!

What my foster says: July is an absolute sweetheart. She was rescued from an abusive hoarder situation, and while plenty of dogs coming from that setting would have some understandable behavioural habits to work through, July is simply incredibly friendly and easy to train. July is friendly with everyone she’s met, including adults, children, dogs, and cats. She is the quintessential Velcro dog who wants to be wherever her person is, preferably snuggled up with them. She’s easy going on walks, and playful with other pets in the home. Her crate is her comfort place, and she happily curls up there to relax or sleep. She has no trouble sharing treats or toys. Our current training goals are not jumping, and perfecting potty training. She has been making great progress with both! July’s foster parent thinks she’d be perfect for a first time dog owner, and is also suitable to a home that already has pets and/or kids.
