I'm an adorable 2-year-old “pocket pit,” weighing in at only 38 pounds.

PALM CITY — I'm one special lady. I'm an adorable 2-year-old “pocket pit,” weighing in at only 38 pounds. I'm very sweet and love receiving affection from people. However, finding the perfect home for me has not been easy. I'm such a smart cookie that I can (and will) climb fences and open gates. I have a very shy streak and would love to be able to have my own space in my new home.

I'm crate-trained and know several basic commands such as “sit” and “get in bed.”

I'm one of HSTC’s newest Dolly’s Dream Dogs! This means my adoption fee has been sponsored AND I come with a bunch of extra goodies to help me adjust to my new home. Some of these bonus goodies include a crate and a free 6-week training class!

To meet me, come to the shelter.
