This sweet 2-year-old long-haired red mix is game for just about anything life has to offer, as long as she gets to be part of it. Lil Bit came to Little Paws after the heartbreaking loss of her owner. She deserves nothing less than a loving forever home, and she's ready to pour every bit of her affection into the right family—she’s waiting with many kisses.    Environment Lil Bit is high energy and loves her daily adventures. She happily keeps pace with big dogs on woodland walks and is a joy on leash. She'll need a securely fenced yard to roam and burn off that enthusiasm. She uses pee pads indoors and is still working toward fully outdoor potty habits, so patience and consistency will help her get there. She uses a pen rather than a crate and is comfortable in that setup. When her foster leaves, she does protest a bit vocally, but there's no destruction—she settles down, especially with the company of other dogs. She's happiest with canine housemates around. Because she can be chatty, she'll do best in a home without shared walls. Lil Bit is also currently on a weight management plan; a combination of regular exercise and a weight control diet is already showing results, and she just needs to shed a few more pounds to reach her healthy weight. Her new family will want to keep that momentum going.   Pets & People Lil Bit has settled into a multi-dog household with small dogs of all ages. She's adaptable and social with her canine crew but doesn’t do well with larger dogs. With people, she can be wary when meeting strangers on the street, but bring her into a home environment and she does wonderfully. She does best with older children because she’s a very food-motivated girl and small hands holding snacks could be tempting for her.   Location Lil Bit is available for adoption from Fairmont, WV.
