Sula Pit Bull Terrier Mix Peoria, AZ

Meet Sula! She is a Pit Bull who came to us from the County shelter after spending over a year there due to a âÂÂ?ÂÂ?Court HoldâÂÂ?ÂÂ?. Her owner did not receive rights to get her back, so the shelter contacted us to see if we could help. At the time of her rescue, Sula had been rapidly losing weight and had little to no interest in interacting with humans after spending over one year in a kennel. She was diagnosed by our vet with something called Shadow Chasing; a form of OCD in dogs where they become obsessed with a certain behavior and repeat it over and over âÂÂ?ÂÂ? in SulaâÂÂ?ÂÂ?s case it was watching shadows and lights. Sula was also diagnosed with moderate heartworm a few months after she came into our care, but was treated successfully, is healthy now, and has been able to return to normal exercise and activity. Sula is around 3-4 years old now. She is spayed, crate-trained, microchipped, current on vaccinations, and walks well on a leash (with a little pulling). She does okay with other dogs her size but like all of our Paws, she requires a dog introduction with any new potential four-legged family members. Since she has been in our care in her foster home she has made a complete 180 from when we first got her- she rarely displays the shadow chasing behavior anymore and has become much more attached to humans- she likes to interact, listen, receive treats, and get pets.
