Carla Pit Bull Terrier Sawyer, ND

Sweet little Carla is named after one of the women who helped save her. She's a pitbull breed mix and the result of neglect and abandonment. Carla and her brother were "thrown out" is the story. They were immediately taken to the vet upon rescue and although we have been told their birthdate is April 2nd, the vet places them at about 6 months old as of 9/20/17. (As of April 2019, she's approximately 2 years old)

Carla was covered in feces and urine stains, had open punctures, and weighed only 20 lbs. Her bones were weak, so she had been started on puppy food and nutritional supplements to improve her strength and body condition. She is pretty food possessive towards other animals and we hope to work some of that out of her, but she may always need her own private and safe place to eat if in a home with other dogs.

Carla is now a healthy and bouncy girl. She is good with other medium to large dogs. Carla was adopted and loved her canine brother. Unfortunately, she was returned even though we are clear about a dog's needs, and hers is possessiveness with food towards other dogs. She was doing great for months, but had an incident over bones and came back to rescue.

Carla is NOT good with cats or livestock. She would do amazing as an only dog or in a home with other larger dogs. She wants to please and loves human affection. This girl deserves an amazing life. No pup's days should start this way. She weighs 60 lbs.

Through it all her tail never stops wagging! She is so sweet on a leash and I even jog with her; she is the best running partner. This girl is a sweet wiggle butt that deserves a lifelong home!
