Meet Agatha: The Sweetest, Gentlest, Happiest Golden Girl Available for Adoption!

  Meet Agatha, a gentle, joyful, and affectionate 9-year-young Pit Bull mix who is dreaming of her forever home. From her wagging tail to her expert-level snuggles, Agatha has a special way of making everyone around her smile. She may be a senior girl, but her heart is full of love, her personality is playful, and her spirit is calm and steady — the perfect companion for someone who appreciates a sweet, slower-paced life.

  Agatha wanted to tell her story herself, so here’s a message from her to her future family:

"I have this dream every night… I’m in my coziest jammies, snuggled up with you on the couch, giving gentle kisses and happy tail wags as we Netflix and chill together. In my dream, I’m finally home. I’m safe. I’m loved. And best of all… I have YOU!

Hello! I’m Agatha — a cool, calm and confident 9-years-young Pit Bull mix girl. I’m a 56 lb bundle of unconditional love, silly snuggles and joyful personality.

The first things you’ll notice about me are my endearing ever-happy face, these bright and intelligent eyes, adorable floppy ears, and the most delightful butt wiggles you’ve ever seen — all working perfectly together to make me the irresistible cutie-patootie I am!

I’m quite the extrovert and no one’s a stranger! I’ll come bunny hopping to you and greet you like we are besties! You can’t help but smile ear-to-ear at my eagerness to love, adore and win you over.

My hobbies include following my volunteer buddies around the yard, giving them expert-level kisses and cuddles, getting those belly rubs and back scratches in (I’m kinda ticklish, but don't let that stop you please).

While I’m not into toys, I thrive on the companionship and warmth of hoomans. Well, what can I say? Hoomans are so much more interesting. Plus…you give BELLY RUBS! Duh! I’m a well-mannered girl, too! I’ll “Sit” when you ask me to and will wait patiently without jumping up for treats and take them gently from your hand. I’m also a lovely leash walker — happy to stroll right by your side. And speaking of walkies, I have a bit of arthritis, so I prefer short strolls.

When it comes to other doggos, I tend to be a little picky! I seem to prefer calm, polite male dogs — just like my shelter best buddy and fellow senior, Henry, who I love to spend time with when he’s in the neighboring yard. If you have a dog, please bring them along for a supervised, on-leash meet-and-greet.

I’d love to go home to someone who appreciates a sweet senior like me — someone who’ll enjoy my calm presence and my slow pace in life. And in return, nothing would make me happier than offering you my sweet, steady, quiet, and loyal companionship.

I can’t wait for my dream to come true! And I can’t wait for YOU to be in it!"
