I just got a puppy from a girl who couldn't keep it. She's clearly got some history of abuse but today she was so happy and even confident enough for play fighting gently!
Edit: since the top comment mentions pitbulls, it's probably worth noting that my puppy is also a pitbull and doesn't have an aggressive bone in her body! She gets scared easily but is never aggressive about it! She's also supernaturally well behaved. I've never seen a dog before her who took so well to a leash and my mom's a heckin dog breeder! She got off the leash today because I scared her when we were jumping around in the back yard and just immediately ran to the door of the house. Scared the heck out of me only to immediately be relieved that what she does is just automatically best case scenario! There's no way I have any chance of outrunning her. She seems to be trying to be social with the cat, but cat is having absolutely none of it. She loves animal crackers but won't mess with her bone that's stuffed with some kind of mush. She also has an extra toe! It's super weird but seems mostly healthy and we're gonna ask a vet about it.
Yo, I can talk about her for several more paragraphs. Just give the word.
I made an account just so I could ask you about more info about your dog, fire away
Her name is Sasha and she is grey. She's an adorable little chunk and weighs about 40lbs. There's a lot of varying information about how old that might mean she is and I think she might also be a kind of mix so that complicates it further. She gets scared fairly early. She's growled at me a couple times. She's so super polite when she wants something! I almost got her to bark once. At lvl 24 she'll evolve into a houndoom! We're practically all about positive reinforcement, but she's super receptive to a gentle "no". I think someone at her old place might have cut her whiskers. She has an extra toe! You can see it in the picture!
Aw, she looks like the best girl. Please let her know
Oh yes, I'm basically a broken record at this point. 😁
