My story

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

Tampa is a 4 year old female pitbull mix who needs a loving forever home. She is spayed, chipped, house trained, and up-to-date on her vaccinations through February 2025. She loves squeaker toys and tug ropes, and loves to be outside, especially running around and exploring in the yard, and chasing squeaky toys. She absolutely adores people. She is a huge cuddle bug and super expressive. Tampa also loves to watch TV and movies and actually tracks what is happening on screen! Her favorite foods are pumpkin, carrots, spinach, peanut butter, and the guts of her toys. Everyone who meets her falls in love. Tampa was attacked while on her leash by another dog and as a result is reactive around other dogs, but she did well with one other dog she lived with and got along with. She would do best in a single-dog home, but may do well in a 2-dog home with a dog her size or larger and proper introductions. With time, training, and patience, she can walk well on a leash. She is not recommended around cats.
