Apricot's Story

Meet Apricot, an absolutely adorable and energetic 50-pound female ready to charm her way into your heart! This loving girl is good with people and is often described as a "pocket pitty"-a cute, compact short stack who packs a lot of personality into a manageable size. Her joy is infectious: when she knows it's time for her walk, she sits on her bed with a happy, full-body wiggle! Apricot is all business when she's on the move; she can be a bit strong on the leash because she has places to go and things to see, but her charming "cute short stack" status means she knows she can get away with anything she wants! She is focused on her mission and is completely non-reactive leaving her kennel. If you're looking for an eager walking partner who is ready to go, Apricot is your girl!
