Pandora 48151 *SPONSORED!* Pit Bull Terrier Cedar Rapids, IA

PANDORA IS A SPAYED FEMALE PIT BULL MIX THAT CAME INTO THE SHELTER AS AN ABANDONED DOG. WE ARE ESTIMATING HER AGE AT AROUND 1 ½ YEARS OLD, WEIGHING 40 LBS. AND IS AS BIG AS SHE WILL GET.

PANDORA WAS SCARED TO DEATH OF EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE WHEN SHE FIRST ARRIVED. I SAT WITH HER IN HER KENNEL SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE SHE STOPPED SHAKING AT THE BACK OF THE KENNEL AND FINALLY WOULD ACCEPT TREATS AND ALLOW ME TO PET HER. SHE HAS COME A LONG WAYS SINCE THEN. NOW SHE COULDN’T BE HAPPIER TO GET OUTSIDE TO THE EXERCISE YARD WHERE SHE CAN BURN OFF THE PENT-UP ENERGY. THEN SHE WILL SETTLE DOWN AND IS HAPPY TO SPONGE UP ALL THE ATTENTION YOU WILL GIVE HER.

PANDORA HAS WALKED NICELY FOR ME ON JUST A SLIP LEAD. LITTLE TO NO PULLING OR TUGGING AND EASILY DIRECTED. SHE WAS ALSO QUICK TO TAKE CARE OF HER BUSINESS ONCE WE GOT OUTSIDE ON THE GRASS AND ON OUR WALK. JUST GIVE HER A LITTLE TIME TO ADJUST TO A NEW HOME. BE PATIENT. ? I LEARNED SHE KNOWS THE BASIC COMMANDS OF SIT & STAY, COMES WHEN CALLED, AND TAKES HER TREATS GENTLY. I WOULD DESCRIBE HER ENERGY LEVEL AS MEDIUM TO HIGH. SHE SETTLES DOWN NICELY WHEN SHE ISN’T IN A KENNEL 24 – 7. SHE DOES LIKE TO JUMP UP ON YOU A LOT AND WE ARE WORKING ON THAT BUT YOU NEED TO BE AWARE. PANDORA HAS DONE WELL WITH OTHER DOGS AT THE SHELTER BUT IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A DOG(S) IN YOUR HOME, THERE WOULD BE A MEET & GREET AT THE SHELTER.

PANDORA HAS BEEN SPONSORED, WHICH MEANS SOMEONE HAS ALREADY PAID ALL OF HER ADOPTION FEES AND THERE WOULD BE ZERO COST TO YOU. ?

WITHOUT ANYWAY OF KNOWING FOR SURE, WE SUSPECT PANDORA HAS NOT HAD A GREAT DEAL OF SOCIALIZATION OR MAYBE THE BEST OWNERSHIP TO THIS POINT IN HER YOUNG LIFE. WE ARE HOPING TO FIND SOMEONE THAT WANTS TO CHANGE THAT FOR A GREAT DOG THAT JUST NEEDS A LOT OF LOVE, PATIENCE, AND UNDERSTANDING. IN RETURN, WE THINK YOU ARE GOING TO GET A WONDERFUL, LOVING, LIFETIME COMPANION THAT YOU WILL BE SO HAPPY TO HAVE GIVEN HER A CHANCE.
