Zinnia Pit Bull Terrier Chicago, IL

Zinnia is so friendly now but when we first met her, she was so afraid of everything! We meet so many dogs like Zinnia and will meet more because this seems like it will never end. Zinnia is beautiful with the most striking ice blue eyes. She eventually did become brave enough to walk past the baby pool and a stuffie to seek out pets from us only to hear a loud sound and send her running. Zinnia has been through a lot. She's coming around more each day, rebuilding her confidence and trust with humans. What she needs now is a patient home. A place where she can feel safe and loved!
