Look at this perfect pittie princess!! Meet Thea, an affectionate sweetheart whose love language is big hugs and even bigger devotion. She's the kind of dog who will press her whole body into you as if to say, "You're my bestest friend in the whole universe!" And she'll mean it with every ounce of her heart! Her foster describes her as sweet as the day is long, and there's truly no better way to put it! Thea loves her people! She follows them like a shadow, lives for connection, and is always ready for a good treat and a booty scratchie!
We believe Thea is a pittie mix of some sort, around 4 years old and weighing approximately 50 pounds. She has that gorgeous blue coloring and the best pittie block head! Due to her being a rescue, age and breed are our best guess and cannot be guaranteed. But there is no doubt she has 100% cutie in her genetics! While she lives with two foster dogs, a small pup and a bigger, older companion, Thea is more of a people's dog than a dog's dog, preferring couch cuddles and human company over rowdy playdates. She's respectful around other dogs, never policing or pushing her way in when play breaks out, but she's just as happy watching from a distance! She's incredibly food motivated, which will be a great tool for continued training!
Ideal Home
Thea would thrive as the queen of her castle, or with a laid-back canine roommate who respects her space. She would do best with older kids who can handle her enthusiasm, as she lives with 4 children aged 12 and up in her foster home and they have an absolute blast together! She is not a match for homes with cats, as she has shown a bit too much interest in feline friends. She will do best in a home with a yard where she can stretch out her legs and lounge in the sunshine. Apartment life may not be the best fit for this girl because she gets the occasional blues when her people leave.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned in the description.
Training & Support
Thea is an excellent student and has been working on her leash skills, responding well to guidance from a confident handler. A gentle tug is often all it takes to bring her focus back, especially when treats are involved! She is incredibly food motivated.
