About Savannah

Meet Savannah, the charming one-year-old Bulldog/Staffordshire Terrier mix who is destined to become your new best friend! Weighing in at a lovable 55 lbs, this girl is not just about being adorable; her big, goofy grin reflects a heart full of love just waiting to be shared! ❤️ Savannah’s journey began on the tough streets of Oklahoma, but don’t worry—she’s a survivor! Rescued and brought to Iowa, she has already overcome so much and is now on the lookout for her forever family. 🌈 When she first stepped into her foster home, this sweet angel was understandably a bit scared but, oh boy, did she blossom like a sunflower in spring! 🌻 Now, she’s a playful, affectionate darling who thrives on human companionship and fills every room with joy. Living with her foster family, which includes two wonderful kids (ages 10 and 14) and three resident dogs, Savannah has been nothing short of a gem! She’s potty trained, kennel trained, and her destructive tendencies? Non-existent! In fact, she’s never had a single accident indoors! 🏡 While she does sleep in a kennel when needed, she much prefers the cocoon of cuddles and has earned the right to roam freely! Just picture it: Savannah curled up in bed, snoring gently while you binge-watch your favorite show. 📺 Oh, and did we mention she loves her fenced-in backyard? That’s where she zooms around, soaking up the sunshine with sheer joy! ☀️ But here's the deal: she’s still working on overcoming her fear of the world outside those boundaries. A nurturing family willing to be patient and help her build that confidence will be a perfect fit. Savannah absolutely adores people, but she might get a tiny touch jealous when you share your affection, trying to wedge herself between you and another pet for a few extra snuggles. 🥰 It’s clear that she used to have a loving home, and all she wants is to feel that warmth again! While she gets along famously with dogs her size, she’s learning to play more gently with smaller furballs. As for cats? She hasn’t lived with them, but her introductions have been gentle and curious. Now, let's have a chat about her seasonal allergies. They’ve shown up as itchy skin and ears, but guess what? We've got that under control with medication, and she's healing beautifully! Just a little heads-up for potential adopters: it’s something to budget for, just in case. But don’t let that deter you; Savannah is ready to fill your home with boundless love, laughter, and loyalty. 😍 If you’re ready to welcome a sweet, soulful dog into your life who’s overcome so much and is now eager to share unconditional love, Savannah is just waiting for you! To meet this beautiful girl, make sure to *apply through the Buddy App!* Trust me, you don’t want to miss out on this treasure! 💖
