About Lil Bit

Meet Lil Bit, a spirited small breed mix with a big personality. She’s a playful 1-year-old weighing about 20 pounds with striking light blue eyes that complement her yellow-tan and white coat. Although Lil Bit is deaf, she’s adapted exceptionally well and navigates her world confidently, always eager to learn with visual cues and treat motivation. Lil Bit has overcome significant challenges with her past pelvic injuries, but they no longer limit her. She happily runs, plays, and enjoys cuddle time just like any other dog. She does wonderfully with other dogs and children, walks nicely on a leash, and has shown she is house and kennel trained. While she may protest a bit when first crated, she settles down quickly. This little adventurer is looking for a loving home that appreciates her spunky spirit. Keep in mind that due to her past injuries, she may need some extra support as she ages, like maintaining a healthy weight and possibly some joint care. If you think you can provide Lil Bit with the loving home she deserves, reach out soon! Lil Bit’s adoption fee is $250, which includes all her up-to-date vaccinations, microchip, testing, and spay.
