About Birgitte

Birgitte, or Briggs as she's sometimes called, is a medium-sized, chocolate and black pit bull terrier with an old soul and a shy streak. She takes time to warm up to new people; what you get back in patience, she’ll return tenfold in love once she trusts you. Little things—like a gentle nuzzle or hesitant tail wag—show her affection. Birgitte needs a home where her boundaries will be respected and where people understand that deep trust is worth earning. She’s sensitive and startles easily, especially in uncertain situations or when separated from her person. She loves other dogs, drawing confidence from their presence, and absolutely needs a canine companion in her new home. Walks and doggy daycare outings are highlights for her and help bring out her playful side. She’s lived happily with children, but her ideal home would be one where everyone gives her space to come around on her own terms. Birgitte offers a unique, rewarding relationship to those willing to let her blossom in her own time. Born on December 21, she’s a Capricorn—a sign known for loyalty and determination.
