***ADOPTED***
Mesha is a 2 year old female pit bull terrier.
She is a petite girl, weighing only 30 pounds. She is spayed, up to date on vaccines, wormed and microchipped. She is heartworm negative.
She was adopted from the shelter when she was a puppy, late 2016 and was returned 2 years later because “she keeps escaping” according to former owners. She has never tried to escape one time since she has been with Roseys Rescue. So not sure why they used THAT excuse! She does whine when she wants to play fetch or get some loving.
She is a REAL sweetheart, and most of the time entertains herself. She is leash trained and walks nice. She is not a destructive dog at all. She has crate anxiety at adoption events and isn’t her “True self” because the setting makes her anxious.
Mesha is all about the water hose and kiddie pool and it’s hard to keep her out of the pool! Mesha responds to be corrected verbally. I have never had to raise my voice with her. She also knows basic commands.
She plays fetch and returns with the toy. She loves to make you laugh! She has a few favorite toys and will bring them to other dogs she likes to play.
She ignores the cats on the property here. We were told she is good with other dogs and good with kids. We waited for 3 weeks before we put her with other dogs to play, to let her decompress and get to know the dogs thru the fence first. Now she plays so well with other male fosters, but is still cautious with the adult females. With new dogs, Mesha acts like she is going to go after them, but she never has hurt another dog yet, because we understand her needs and don’t let her face to face with any until she gets used to their presence.
*******If you are interested in adopting Mesha, or getting to know her better, it is MANDATORY she has a SLOW introduction to other dogs, getting to know them with a barrier between them for up to 2 weeks. Once she knows the dog for a few weeks, then she will play just fine with them. NO EXCEPTIONS.
She doesn’t play rough with other dogs at all and mostly ignores them and would rather play fetch with her human. She is on of my favorite fosters of all time and whoever winds up adopting her, better be prepared for visits by me! ❤
