In the shelter’s words

Savannah is a female Pit Bull Terrier mix rescued in Georgia. Our veterinary partner estimates that Savannah was born in 2016. We received the plea for help when she had been spayed at the shelter, and had somehow managed to break her spay stitches. This allowed her intestines to come through the incision site, and she was in critical condition and needed emergency surgery to repair the site. Savannah has been all fixed up and she is now doing well. Savannah is a sweet pup who is great with people of all ages. She must be the only dog in the home, and if there is another dog in the home (which we don't recommend), Savannah cannot be crated. Otherwise, Savannah does great in a crate! She currently sleeps all night in her crate and will rocket into the crate from anywhere in her foster home in response to the "Crate Up" command! She will also go into her open crate with a toy or snack and happily hang out there. Savannah is an excellent listener who will make a great companion! She is housetrained, knows basic commands and not destructive. She is easily overwhelmed with groups of dogs, and cannot visit dog parks. She seems to be okay on leash when there is one other dog around. Savannah will need a family who understands and accepts her issues with other dogs. If you can provide a stable, loving home for Savannah and would like to adopt her, please put your application in here: http://www.rescuedogsrocknyc.org All pets are current on age-appropriate vaccines at the time of adoption. Savannah's adoption fee is $300.Given technical constraints on this database, this pet's location may not be as listed here. We can, however, provide transport support for pets in foster at a considerable distance from the adopter.
