About China

China is a quiet and loving girl looking for a new home. About 3 years old and 50 pounds, she has a short stature and a crooked tail that makes her easy to spot. Her affection for food means she carries a bit of extra weight, but she moves well, especially when a leash and a companion are involved. China rarely barks and is content being calm, making her a pleasant housemate. She’s house trained and leash trained, and enjoys spending time with her favorite male dog buddy. However, China does not get along with cats. She’s been good with people of all ages, including children, and always seems happy to greet someone new. China was rescued from a tough situation after raising her puppies, but she’s put that behind her and is now thriving in foster care. Her vet care is all up to date and she’s microchipped. China is currently in a Texas foster home but will travel to New Jersey if she finds her adopter. Born on February 24, this makes her a compassionate Pisces—known for empathy and gentle nature.
