My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi everyone, my name is Sota . I got to go to a foster home for a weekend a they want me to share their note!
I went in looking for more of your "typical family dog" and ended up with this sweet little girl ! I know most people don't go to the shelter to adopt a pit bull and she wasn't my first choice either but they all deserve a chance to have a family to help out .
I do not know much of Sota's story because it was a very busy night trying to get as many animals out of the building as possible and was it very hectic at the time .
Sota is definitely a female pit mix and is a real sweetheart ! I can't remember if her tag said she was spayed or not yet . She seems fairly young . She has lots of energy and loves to play. She follows me around every step I make she's right there .
I am not certain how she is with children as I do not have any small children in my home . I feel as though she would be best being in a home without any other dogs or at least not one with 3 other females like I have . I also don't see any signs of food aggression. I hand fed her and held a bowl for her while she was eating and even pulled the bowl away to slow her down . She did just fine . She also seems to be treat motivated .
Soda loved her car ride to my house and did very well in the car, she had a bath after we got home and did very well with that too . She walks great with a harness and leash but pulls with the leash attached to the collar . She listens pretty well for a dog who has been in a shelter . She definitely loves being around people . We have had to keep her separate from our other dogs but have been giving her time alone with us in the house so that she has been able to be "part of the family". She takes her treats very gently too .
She has a bit of separation anxiety but only whines to be near us . For the most part she is potty trained and she has only had 1 accident which was in her crate while we were gone to work . She could benefit from a slow feed bowl as well .
She has really enjoyed her stay with us and I'm sure she will be devastated when we have to take her back to the shelter . Unfortunately we can not keep her since we are full. The mess she made on the floor was a toy that was already torn up by one of ours and she just helped remove some more stuffing and had the best time doing it too!

Please take a look at her and or many of the other cats and dogs at the shelter and consider adopting so these precious babies don't have to live in a kennel for the rest of their lives . I'm sure any animal would be grateful to have a loving family and place to call home .
