Adopt a American Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat)

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh…over here, over here!  I see you looking at me, and I know that my wiggly, excited body is just cracking you up.  My name is Sissy, and I am a 3 year old Pitbull mix.  I am LOADED with personality and sweetness.  I have been here since October 14, and I am so ready to be adopted by my forever family.  Don’t you just love my black and white coat?!  The volunteers are calling me a mini Pitty, and sometimes a pocket Pitty…heck, sometimes it is just plain old Sissy Pitty!  I am a sweet, friendly girl, although I am initially nervous with strangers.  It does not take me long to warm up and love just about everybody.  Seriously, how cute am I?

I get along with other dogs, but as always, a meet and greet will be necessary if you should have any other dogs in your home.  Now, in the spirit of full disclosure, it appears that I have developed diabetes insipidus (not diabetes!).  My symptoms are reduced with medication (eye drops), but gosh darn it, they make me so thirsty!  I drink a lot, which means I have to ‘go’ a lot.  It would be great if I could find a family where someone is home for at least part of the day.  I do my best to hold it, but I just cannot make it as long as other dogs can.  No matter…look at this face!  I am an adoption waiting to happen.  Who could resist me?  No one, I tell you, because that is just the kind of gal that I am.  HA…you are still reading!  That means that you want me…oh, you know that you do.

Just so you know, I was found as a stray.  It is so hard to believe that my family have not come for me, but their loss is your gain!  I certainly will not let this get me down.  I am keeping my options open.  There could be a whole new world out there for me to explore (or at the very least, a whole new backyard!)  As you can probably tell by now, I just cannot contain my enthusiasm for life.  I am a snuggle bug who just wants to be loved.   I like children, and I am a very easy walker.

The volunteers tell me that I am spayed, micro-chipped and up to date on my shots.  I could be the love of your life if you let me.  Please come down to the Somerset Regional Animal Shelter and ask to spend some time with me…I am waiting!
