Dog of the Week: Nestle

Pet of the Week from the Humane Society of Sarasota County

Hi! My name is Nestle. I am an American Pit Bull Terrier mix girl that weighs approximately 40 pounds.

I came to HSSC from an overcrowded shelter with my litter of seven four-week-old puppies. All my puppies were adopted very quickly but I am still patiently waiting for someone to give me a forever home.

I am timid, shy, calm and quiet. My friends at the shelter think I may have been a backyard dog. I was very scared when I first came to the shelter but I warm up quickly and truly appreciate human kindness, once i get to know you I am a big lover.

Won't you please consider opening up your heart and home to me? I would love an indoor home and promise to be your loyal, best friend always. Come down to HSSC to meet me for yourself.
