My story

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

Hi! I`m Mrs. Nesbit! I`m a 2 year old brindle pocket pittie and I am READY for my forever home.

I was found as a stray but my friends at the shelter and my foster family are helping me see that life is actually SO FUN! I LOVE your attention and just want to please you. I don`t have a mean bone in my body: it`s all sweetness, love, and excitement! My foster family says I am a one in a million sweetie.

Ideally I`d like to be cuddled in your arms, sleeping on my bed, or meeting new friends (though I`m still working on staying relaxed when meeting new friends, human or canine- I`m friendly but just so excited!) I am very social and LOVE people, and I`m working really hard on expressing that love by sitting for pets instead of jumping up for hugs. I still get pretty excited at the world (major puppy vibes) so I`d love a patient home to help me experience all these new things. But don`t worry- I`m a fast learner!

I love my foster dog sister, and would do well with a playful doggie sibling. I`m also doing well with the resident cat, though I still get excited when he starts running around. I do have a strong prey drive so all cat intros should go slow (so I don`t mistake them for a squirrel!). More training on walks will help me stay nice and relaxed when facing the squirrels of the world since I`m a strong gal. I`m house broken and I don`t make a peep when you leave me alone.

Come and meet me and fall in love today.
