About Rory

Rory is a lively and loving pit bull terrier who’s full of spunk and sweetness. At a little over two years old, she splits her time between excitedly chasing her squeaky toys outside and curling up next to her person, legs in the air, wearing an unmistakable happy grin. Zoomies are a favorite activity, but Rory is equally devoted to snuggling and catching dreams with her human. She’s smart, has mastered basic commands, and is both kennel and leash trained. Rory warms up to new people after a brief introduction—treats and belly rubs go a long way with her. She does best with submissive or mellow dogs after slow, careful introductions. Rory isn’t a match for homes with small animals, as she loves to give chase. In family settings, she prefers children over the age of 10. Rory is looking for someone who will appreciate both her playful side and her cuddly nature. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
