Stormi

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Young

East Brunswick, NJ

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Stormi landed with our family a few days ago due to some hardships with her previous family. The intent was for us to foster her while we found her a good home. She is doing ok with my other two bullies but one of them is epileptic and when he has an episode, it freaks her out and she lunges at him. (The only time she shows any type of negative behavior towards the other dogs). She is 1 year old (DOB: 11/16/2023) is house-trained and has some basic obedience. She is good on the leash and is gentle when taking treats. She has been calm here but she needs to be in a home with no special needs dogs or as the only dog in the home. We ultimately want her to find a great family who can give her the life she deserves.

Tiara is friendly and curious around new dogs and would enjoy playtime at the dog park. **Training and Intelligence** This smart girl is both affection and treat motivated, making her easy to train. She already knows basic commands, is fully housebroken, and crate trained. **Ideal Home** Tiara would thrive in an active dog experienced family who can take her on daily long walks and has access to a fenced yard for off-leash playtime with other dogs or games of fetch. She would also make an excellent hiking partner! She can live with dogs but not small animals. Kids over 13 years old is recommended. If you're looking for an active, loving, loyal, and smart dog, Tiara is the perfect match for you. **Location** Tiara is being fostered in Milltown, NJ. **Contact Information** Please email Rescuewithoutborders@gmail.com for an adoption application.
