Here's our (my mom's, actually - but I call her ours) Gracie.
We're not sure if she's a pit bull or a staffie, but whatever she is, we don't really care. We love her to bits!
She was our second foster dog, but ended up stealing our hearts and never left. <3
She was on the kill list at the shelter for dog aggression. Yet we brought her home and did very slow, careful introductions with our other dogs (she exhibited ZERO signs of dog aggression) and she lets a Frenchie and a Pomeranian beat her up, and she's careful with our little 18 year old mutt.
Her story was basically that her owners kept her locked up in the backyard and used her for breeding, then dumped her when she no longer yielded a profit for them.
She's 7 years old.
Here are photos of her when she first came home with us.
I can't help but wonder where all of her puppies are now, or if they're even alive.
Chillin' on the couch with Ozzy. (She was actually sitting still - something that hasn't happened before or since this photo was taken).
This is how most pictures of her turn out. Her nickname is Miss Wiggles because she cannot have all 4 feet on the ground!
After a day of flyball training! Unfortunately, her flyball career had to be cut short because she had swelling in one of her joints, and the activity agitated it to the point she could hardly walk. Vets still don't know what's wrong with it.
SO VICIOUS.
I wish I had some photos of her with my niece, nephew or bf's daughter. She is pretty rough with adults (she'll throw her weight around and bulldoze an adult - she doesn't care LOL), but she is super gentle with kids.
