Sheeba’s DNA results are in! ❤️ She’s 58.9% American Pit Bull Terrier, 22.2% American Bulldog, 14.3% Supermutt, and 4.6% German Shepherd Dog!
Today marks 627 DAYS in the shelter for Sheeba. 💔 In all that time, she hasn’t had a SINGLE meet and greet. Not one. It’s heartbreaking, and we have to do better for this girl. Please, please keep sharing her everywhere you can. Her family could be out there, and your share might be what finally brings them to her.
Sheeba needs to be the only pet in a home with teens and up who will respect her boundaries around her toys. She deserves someone who will give her the patience, love, and security she’s been waiting so long to feel.
627 days is far too long to be waiting for a chance. Please don’t stop sharing Sheeba. Somewhere out there is someone who will see her and know she’s the one. Please help us find her hero. ❤️🩹

Shelter Bio:
Sheeba is a 5.5 year young Boxer with a heart as big as her love for tennis balls. The moment she’s outside, her sweet personality shines! She’ll look back at you with soft eyes, happily stay by your side, and remind you just how special the bond between a dog and their person can be. Her absolute favorite game is fetch, and she’s a true teammate. She’ll politely bring the ball right back, patiently wait for you to throw it again, and could happily play together for hours. When playtime is over, Sheeba is all about affection, leaning in for love and sometimes giving an excited little jump just to ask for another scratch or cuddle. Sheeba has made wonderful progress and continues to show her playful, loving side to the people she trusts. She’ll thrive with an active family who enjoys playtime just as much as she does. Sheeba is looking to be the only pet in an adult/teen home where she can soak up all the love, attention, and tennis balls she deserves.
