Julie Pit Bull Terrier Mix Bellingham, WA

~~ Foster Needed or even better **FOREVER HOME** ~~

Meet Julie!

Julie is a super sweet 10-month-old, 38-lb pittie who loves to play and cuddle. She is always up for a walk, a round of tug-of-war, or a romp with friends her size or bigger. When playtime is over, Julie is happy to laze around the house, relax in the sunshine, or cuddle up with her humans, but be ready she has serious boundary issues and will happily take up your whole lap if you let her!

Julie had a rough start to life that caused some issues with her GI tract. She is currently on a prescription diet and medication to help her heal and gain weight. None of this slows her down, though. She is a happy, energetic girl!

Being a youngster, Julie is learning new things all the time. She is very treat-motivated and wants to please, which is a great plus for training. She is fully house-trained and will signal that she has to go outside by sitting at the door. She also quickly mastered the dog door in her foster home!

If you love spending time in the outdoors, Julie will make a great companion. She is good on leash, is very curious and is always up for new adventures.

Need to go out for a bit? No problem. Julie is quite content to hang out in her crate with her favorite toy and bone. If you want to take her with you, though, she loves car rides and will gladly wait in the back seat while you're running your errands.

A good guard dog, Julie barks at unfamiliar sounds but not excessively. She is wary of new people and may growl or lunge when scared, so slow introductions are crucial. She will benefit from some focused training to overcome her fear. Due to Julie's fear and energy level, a family with older, dog-savvy children or no children will be best for her. She will chase cats and small dogs so proper introduction and training will be necessary if either is in the home.

Gaining Julie's trust may take a couple of days but once you have it, her personality shines and she quickly becomes your best friend. She is a super sweet pup who wants nothing more than to be loved and be with her humans.

Julie is available for adoption through the Alternative Humane Society. If you are ready to give this sweet girl the forever home she deserves, you will be rewarded with love and loyalty!
