Judy

Description

Meet Judy! Judy is a beautiful *9-month-old pit bull mix* weighing about *48 pounds*, with a dark gray coat and striking gray eyes. She survived parvo as a young puppy, and that resilient spirit definitely shows—Judy approaches life with enthusiasm, curiosity, and a whole lot of personality. Judy is a *high-energy girl* who would thrive with an active family or possibly another playful, energetic dog who can help keep up with her. She loves to play, especially a good game of *tug*, but once she has gotten her energy out, she is equally happy to *cuddle up for a nap* with her people.She is already *housebroken, crate-trained, and spayed*, and she seems to do well walking on a leash. Judy is very food-motivated, which makes her eager to learn! She is currently practicing taking treats gently and learning that she doesn't have to do everything at full speed. Like many young dogs, Judy can sometimes become *overstimulated* and needs a little help recognizing when it is time to take a break and rest. She is also still working on *nipping when she gets overly excited*, but she has responded very well to training and is making steady progress. A family willing to continue giving her structure, exercise, and positive reinforcement will help her grow into an amazing adult dog.Judy is also a *toy-chewer*, but she is not destructive on purpose—she happily sticks to her toys and *leaves shoes and other human belongings alone*, which her foster family greatly appreciates! Due to her age and energetic play style, Jusy would be best suited to a family with older children.  Her ability to live with cats is unknown at this time, but most cats will not appreciate her enthusiasm.    Judy is a playful, affectionate, resilient young dog looking for a family that will embrace her energy, continue helping her learn, and appreciate that underneath all that puppy enthusiasm is a girl who really loves curling up close to the people she trusts. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccinations.   If you're looking for an active companion who can go from enthusiastic playmate to champion nap buddy, Judy may be your girl!  She will be available for adoption starting August 16, 2026.
