American Pit Bull Terrier (medium coat) • 2 Years 4 Months • Female • Large
Ocala, FL
Rescue ID: A373218
Meet Cranberryâa sweet, social girl who truly shines outside of the shelter. In playgroup, she may start off a bit nervous but greets appropriately and tends to keep to herself. She has also done well in a short-term foster home where she lived successfully with both other dogs and cats. In a calm, comfortable environment, Cranberry relaxes, enjoys affection, and shows her more easygoing personality.In the shelter, however, Cranberry struggles with fear, anxiety, and stress (FAS). During kennel cleaning, she becomes highly anxiousâjumping, unable to settle, and has been seen running into the guillotine door with enough force to cause injury, requiring staff to move her for safety. The kennel environment is overwhelming for her and does not reflect who she is outside of it.Cranberry was recently returned after showing discomfort around a baby in the home, including an attempted nip at the babyâs toes there was no indication of intent to harm. Due to this, she would do best in a home without small children.Cranberry is ready to leave the shelter behind and thrive in a calm, stable home where she can decompress and let her true personality shine.
