Mitzi - watch new video! American Staffordshire Terrier & Pit Bull Terrier Mix Watertown, CT

Mitzi was owner- surrender as her owner decided he didn't want her anymore. This is where CPR comes into her life! Mitzi is the perfect-sized little girl that we believe is around 18 months old.
She weighs around 48 pounds and is full-grown. She is housetrained and crate-trained. Mitzi was not treated good at her last home and she is warming up nicely knowing she will never be mistreated again.The only thing she is having to learn from that living situation is trusting people. Once she knows she is safe, she warms up nicely. She has even learned that it is ok to jump up on the couch and snuggle with her foster mommy and other doggies.
She loves running and playing with the other foster dogs. She has mastered walking on a leash and has done so well with it! All she needs to learn is that she will never be mistreated ever again. Some patience and TLC is all this girl needs!!

Mitzi has a video of her playing with one of the foster pups staying with her. She loves her!! Watch the youtube link for a video that will put a smile on your face!

Mitzi is spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. All dogs 6 month + receive a Proheart 6 injection at the time of their heartworm test. This provides heartworm prevention for 6 months from the time of that injection. This dog has tested positive for heartworms, but has received her treatment and is ready to travel to her forever home. The adoption fee is $450 if your adoption is prepaid and final prior to your dog's arrival. An additional $50 will be charged on dogs that are picked up from our Southbury CT adoption center, adopted at an event, or foster home. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with CT HB 5368.
