About Halo

What are you waiting for? Apply today! Say hello to Halo! This smart and active young female Pit Bull Terrier mix is ready to light up your life. At around a year old and weighing about 60 pounds, Halo is high-energy, loving, and always up for playtime with other dogs or a good romp with toys and bones. She is apartment-friendly and crate trained, making her a great fit for different household types. While she adores snacks (especially peanut butter) and napping in her kennel, she’s happiest when included in the action and loves being greeted when you get home. Halo gets along well with other dogs and would thrive in a home where she has a canine friend to help burn off her energy, but she’s also content being the only pet. She’s good with kids ages 8 and up and is selective with cats. Halo is incredibly smart and food motivated, which makes her a breeze to train—she’s already learning several commands and tricks like sit, stay, down, shake, and even spin or dance! She is still perfecting her leash manners and will need daily walks or play sessions to keep her happy. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will keep you engaged and entertained, Halo could be your perfect match. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
