usually looks so stern that she reminds you more of someone's least-favorite aunt than a young, playful dog. Don't let her expression fool you; she loves people and would especially love having some of her very own.

FANCY Pitbull X Fancy is energetic and playful, but sometimes shy with people until she gets to know them. She is strong and pulls on the leash, but her main problem is being barky and sometimes aggressive with other dogs. She is definitely not good with small dogs; with larger ones, she likes some and dislikes others. In all cases she needs a careful introduction. If she likes a dog, she is very playful, and she plays hard. She likes to push, shove, and jump on the other dog and enjoys the other dog shoving, pushing, and jumping on her. Fancy would be a good companion for another dog who needs that kind of interactive playing. Why is she this way? This likes-some, dislikes-others behavior usually stems from a dog's lack of socialization as a puppy. Fancy had some dog friends, but probably little interaction with many types of dogs and other animals, including humans. If a person is reserved and not very social, it's best to adopt a dog whose previous owner already did the socializing for that pet. If a person really wants a puppy, there must be an effort to socialize the puppy. For a dog to learn to interpret his world and be wise, it must be socialized early. It's not fair to deny a dog these socializing skills, and Fancy is an example of this. Animal Control staff is available to answer questions on this topic. Fancy is available for a visit, some play time, a walk, or adoption.
