truffles

Truffles was found with an embedded collar around her neck. Despite permanently baring the scars of an unpleasant past, Truffles is loving, friendly, and sweet. Her stuffed animals were her source of comfort and company in her lonely shelter kennel, and now that she's in a foster home, it is still hard not to catch her with a stuffy in her mouth as she rolls around on the floor or in the yard!

Truffles is about 4-5 years old, a mature lady who has had some life experience under her belt. She is potty trained and crate trained. Like a typical pittie, she absolute LOVES people and would bark eagerly to meet a new person who has yet to be her best friend. Some people walk right past me and say that she is just a non-descript generic dog. Ouch.. Sure, she doesn't have a fancy pedigree. Nor is she a cute little puppy. Nevertheless, she has SO much love to give, and will be loyal to her humans forever and ever.

Truffles is a petite pocket rocket at around 40lbs. She is eager to please and happy to be included. She is not always sure about other dogs because she was attacked by one before. But she has done well with her foster's chihuahuas. She is working on walking better on the leash as she does get a little over-excited when she sees other dogs. She is food motivated so she's been easy to work with in training and can be redirected with a stick of string cheese. She would do really well with continued training given how well she response to positive reinforcement training. She would be an excellent student! A+++
