Rescue Dog Behavior Changes Week by Week
Bringing home a rescue dog means observing their behavior changes week by week. Learn what to expect beyond the 3-3-3 rule and how to support your new.
Artemis is a sweet, athletic girl with a heart full of love, currently around 5 years and 10 months old. She absolutely adores children, happily joining in on dress-up, cuddles, and playful roughhousing with her 6-year-old best friend. She's also making great strides in her house training and crate manners, showing her eagerness to learn and please. Artemis thrives on companionship and affection, always ready to be a big cuddler who loves being close to her people.
As an American Pit Bull Terrier, Artemis embodies many of the breed's best traits: loyalty, intelligence, and a strong desire to be part of the family. Her natural athleticism and impressive vertical height make her an excellent candidate for agility or other active adventures. While she can be easily distracted outdoors, her focus during one-on-one training sessions highlights her intelligence and eagerness to master new skills like 'sit,' 'roll over,' and even jumping through a hoop.
Artemis is looking for a loving home that can provide continued training and patience, especially with her outdoor focus and ongoing learning to live with cats under supervision. She currently lives with other dogs, but a meet-and-greet is suggested due to her high energy. An active family who appreciates a devoted, playful, and intelligent companion will find a truly special friend in Artemis. She promises endless cuddles and a lifetime of loyalty to her forever family.
