Hoping you'll be her forever family, meet Hope! Having come into our care under rough circumstances, Hope's name is very fitting. This beautiful Pittie started off pretty fearful, but has come so far with the help of our dedicated staff and volunteers! She might still be hesitant when meeting new people, but once she knows you, she is the wiggliest, happiest girl. Hope absolutely loves treats, so whether you're offering them to build trust, to reward her for a new skill or to put them in fun enrichment toys, she's all about it! Her motivation for food and toys make training a breeze and keeps her active body and brain happy! She eagerly awaits her daily walks and could sniff and explore for hours on end if she was able to. We wouldn't describe her as a snuggly dog, but she does appreciate pets and ear scratches here and there. Just make sure you're giving her breaks and watching for any discomfort due to her touch sensitivities! We don't know if Hope has ever been around kids before, but because of her nervousness, older kids who can read her body language are a requirement. We're also not sure how she'd do with cats, so slow, gradual introductions are a must. Hope did come into our care with another dog, but with the limited history we have, we don't know what their relationship was like in the home. She may enjoy a canine friend after proper introductions! If you've been looking for an active adventure buddy, Hope might be your gal!

Hope is:
- unknown with kids, older kids who can read and respect body language required
