About Crystal

Meet Crystal, a charming eight-month-old pit bull mix with a playful spirit. She has a striking white face, a brown coat decorated with a few white spots, which gives her a unique look. When you extend your hand, she eagerly leans in for a nuzzle and then flops onto her back for a belly rub. Crystal came to us from a difficult situation, but that hasn’t affected her loving disposition. She is sweet and affectionate, soaking up all the attention she can get. While she has interacted well with another dog at the shelter, she hasn't been tested around children or cats yet. As a young pup, Crystal is likely still learning her house training and leash manners, so expect to spend some time guiding her in these areas. If you already have a friendly dog, we can arrange a meet-and-greet to see how they get along. Feel free to reach out to schedule a visit; the shelter is open Monday through Friday from 12 PM to 4 PM, and other times are available based on volunteer schedules. Don't miss out on the chance to welcome this affectionate girl into your home!
