About Gayle

Gayle is a playful, goofy, medium-sized Pit Bull Terrier located in Fargo, ND, and she's been turning heads and winning hearts with her sunny personality. Her fosters and volunteers have pointed out how easily she bonds with people—she loves to greet everyone with a full-body wiggle and adores pets and butt scratches. Gayle is quick to settle in, sleeping away long workdays quietly at home without getting into trouble. She's kennel trained, house trained if her cues are watched, and has shown she can be trusted alone for long stretches. Gayle rides nicely in the car, enjoys walks where she can sniff to her heart's content, and is generally friendly and affectionate. She does have a few quirks to be aware of: Gayle has some resource guarding tendencies, especially with her favorite toys. Prospective adopters should expect to continue working with her on this. She'd do best with a dog companion who's playful but willing to respect her space. Gayle gets easily distracted on the leash, particularly around runners, bikes, or skateboards, but she's already made improvements with training. A fenced yard would be ideal for her. Gayle is not a fit for homes with cats, as she does not get along with them. Still, for the right family—especially one that enjoys training, play, and has a knack for helping a bright, active dog thrive—Gayle is sure to be a fantastic companion. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
