About Agnes

Agnes is a large, lovable Pit Bull Terrier who ended up at the rescue through no fault of her own. She has a soft spot for treats, which makes her eager to learn, and playing is one of her favorite ways to burn energy. Agnes rides well in the car and hops in with little encouragement. She gets along with children and has a big heart, but she can be selective when meeting other dogs—a meet-and-greet is required to ensure everyone gets along. Leash walking is still a work in progress, as her enthusiasm sometimes gets the best of her, but she’s motivated to improve with the right encouragement. Agnes is spayed, house trained, and ready for a home that can channel her affectionate spirit and playful energy. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
