Shasta Pit Bull Terrier & Retriever Mix Bellingham, WA

Hi, my name is Shasta! Here is what would work best for me in my new home:

-Personality: Uncertain of strangers, but once she's comfortable with you, she's a friendly, goofy little dog
-Can Live with Kids: Respectful, dog-experienced kids ages 14+ who can go at my speed, please.
-Can Live with Cats: No history - will need a slow and structured introduction.
-Can Live with Dogs: Yes - could likely live with a polite dog with a similar playstyle. Pending initial introduction here at the shelter.
-Can do Apartment Living: No thanks
-Potty Trained: Yes
-Bite History: None
-Positive Reward Based Obedience Classes Required: Yes, one private lesson
-Energy Level: Medium/high
-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Yes, a spay / MC

Additional Information: Shasta came to WHS due to her previous family having changes in their living situation, no fault of her own. She has been understandably stressed by this big life change and the chaotic shelter environment, but with plenty of treats, time to decompress, and gentle encouragement, she's starting to show us her real personality. Shasta's ideal placement will not have a lot of traffic of guests in and out of the home and a family dog experienced enough to set her up to succeed.
