Pet of the Week: Sheila

Name: Sheila
Female, red and brindle pit bull mix, 1-1/2 years old, spayed upon adoption
Tag: 174
ID: A354251

Sheila’s a happy girl who enjoys people.  Her former owner said she’s lovable and was raised around three “hyper” kids.  Our trainer/evaluator notes that she enjoys being petted and walked.  Fetching plush toys seems to entertain her, too!  She’s a fast learner and training – using positive reinforcement only – will keep her enthusiastic while she learns.  Using a body harness will also help her learn loose-leash walking.  She needs a yard and loves to be outside.  Because she’s athletic, agility or some other dog sport would be fun for her and her adopter. Is that you?
