1. Pluto
Young (7 months) · Female · Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 27 mi from Greenbrier





Meet Pluto!
Pluto is a wiggly, cuddly ball of puppy energy who is ready to find a family to call her own! This girl loves nothing more than racing around the house with her foster brother, showing off her zoomies, and then snuggling up with her favorite people. And when it’s time to settle down? Pluto is an expert cuddler who loves to burrow under the covers and curl up right next to you. Personal space is apparently just a suggestion!
Read more about Pluto
Pluto absolutely adores children and currently lives with an 18-month-old and a 3-year-old, whom she loves to shower with affection. She also gets along well with other dogs and would love a canine friend who can keep up with her playful puppy antics.
Pluto has spent her life living outdoors, so she’s still figuring out the whole indoor-dog thing. She’s making progress with potty training and crate training, learning which toys are appropriate for chewing (with so many tempting kid and cat toys around, can you really blame her?), and working on respecting personal space. She’s still a young dog with plenty to learn, so she’ll need a family willing to offer patience, consistency, and lots of positive reinforcement as she learns the ropes.
Pluto has also been exposed to lots of cats, but she hasn’t quite figured out that not everyone wants to play with her! When the cats hiss or run away, Pluto thinks they’re joining in on the fun and is ready to keep the party going. She isn’t aggressive toward them; she just has a lot of puppy enthusiasm and hasn’t learned to read feline social cues yet. A cat-free home would likely be the easiest fit for this energetic girl.
If you’re looking for a happy, affectionate, slightly goofy young dog who will keep you laughing, join you for playtime, and snuggle under the covers at the end of the day, Pluto might just be your girl! She’s still learning how to be the best indoor pup she can be, and with the right family, she has so much potential to blossom.
