Hope is one of those dogs who doesn't run into anything... Except treats! Once she realizes you might have a snack or gentle hands ready for pets, her soft personality shines through. She loves affection, belly rubs, and she's happiest just being near her people, soaking up love at her own pace. Treats are absolutely her favorite thing, and she'll gladly show off her manners for one. She also enjoys toys and had fun playing with them, but overall, Hope is more of a laid-back, relaxed girl than a rowdy one. She walks nicely on a leash and would be perfectly content with a few strolls a day followed by long naps. Hope is believed to be an American Pitbull Terrier - American Staffordshire Terrier mix, around six years old and weighing about 51 pounds. She is people-friendly but appreciates a moment to warm up, and once she does, she's incredibly sweet and affectionate.
Ideal Home
Hope would be happy as an only dog, but could also live with a low-energy, respectful dog who understands personal space. She would be best with older kids who understand boundaries and respect a dog's space. She is quiet, calm, and low-key, making her a great candidate for an apartment with regular walks and enrichment. A home with a securely fenced yard is ideal for her to safely enjoy her outdoor time.
Ongoing Health
Hope is up to date on all age-appropriate vetting.
Training & Support
Hope appreciates a patient approach when meeting new people and will warm up in her own time. She tolerates other dogs nicely and doesn't seek out play time. While she had a neutral reaction to a cat during a brief test, further testing would be recommended to be certain.
