Fig

Friends to the Forlorn<br/>Adopt-a-BullName: Fig<br/>Breed: Pitbull Terrier<br/>Sex: Female<br/>Approx. DOB: 10/27/2019<br/>Weight: 50 lbs<br/>Location: Powder Springs, Ga<br/><br/>RESCUING FIG<br/>Fig was originally found as a stray in Rockmart. Clearly emaciated and in need of medical care and love, she needed help. Animal control was completely full but allowed the finder to keep her during the stray hold. The kind lady who found her had recently taken in another stray dog who needed help as well, so she wasn&#39;t in a position to keep Fig but was determined to make sure she was safe. Thankfully, after learning about Fig, we had a foster step up and she got her Freedom Ride on 10/26/2023. Despite her condition, she was sweet as can be and ready to get the love and care she deserves.<br/><br/>ABOUT FIG<br/>Fig is a gorgeous and funny girl, so full of life now that she has gained weight and is feeling better! During her intake exam, we learned Fig was heartworm positive, so she had to take it easy while going through heartworm treatment. She completed treatment in 2024 and shouldn&#39;t have any lasting effects or damage. Fig is crate trained and housebroken, sometimes choosing to go into her crate on her own for naps. She loves to play with her two foster brothers, but sometimes doesn&#39;t understand the cues when another dog isn&#39;t in the mood, so her foster and our trainers are helping Fig learn &#34;how to dog&#34; politely so she can have fun with new dog friends.<br/><br/>Fig is solar-powered, she loves to be in the sun! If it&#39;s too hot to be outside, she&#39;ll find a sunny spot by the window to relax. She has learned how to walk nicely on a leash as well as commands like &#34;sit&#34;, &#34;down&#34;, &#34;wait&#34;, &#34;crate&#34;, &#34;shake&#34;, &#34;leave it&#34;, and even &#34;spin&#34;. Fig is very food-motivated, which makes her a good student but can also be stubborn when distracted. She is very patient when it comes to nail trims, ear cleanings, and baths. Her favorite things are playing in the yard, playing with chew toys, swimming, and going for walks! She&#39;s a very sweet girl who makes cute grunts when excited. She does have goofy puppy energy sometimes but also loves cuddling up on the bed or the couch.<br/><br/>ADOPTING FIG<br/><br/>Fig&#39;s foster says &#34;Fig&#39;s perfect family would be people that have experience with dogs and that like to be outside. With proper training, I think she would be a good sister to another dog and likely would be good with older kids. She&#39;s a sweet girl that acts younger than she is. I don&#39;t think she had a lot of human contact or teaching previously, so we&#39;ve been working on how to be the goodest girl! She learns pretty quickly and will do anything for some yummy snacks.&#34;<br/><br/>Fig is up-to-date on vaccines, dewormed, spayed, and microchipped. She is on monthly preventative and eating premium grain-free dry dog food. Her adoption fee is $300.
