Meet Mila - The Pit Bull Terrier at Dogs Are Deserving

Mila is an absolute ball of love. She may not have had the best start in life, but you would never know it from her joyful spirit. Mila is a beautiful tricolor “shorty” girl, around 3–4 years old and approximately 58 pounds (even though she sometimes looks bigger in photos). She is incredibly affectionate, happy and simply grateful for her second chance at life.

Her favorite thing in the world is being around her people. Whether she’s lounging nearby, riding shotgun in the car or rolling around in the grass, Mila is happiest just being part of the family. She’s an excellent sidekick! She truly has the sweetest soul.

Mila is house-trained and sleeps in her crate with the door open. She happily goes into her crate on her own and sometimes chooses to relax there, but she does not like the crate door being closed — likely because she spent too much time confined before being rescued.

She’s very easygoing and low-maintenance overall. Mila doesn’t need tons of exercise and is content with yard time and snuggles. She does like walks but doesn’t need them. She walks nicely on a harness, rides great in the car, does well at the vet, and is fantastic for baths. She has also been the perfect house guest -  no chewing, no getting into things, no begging  - she mostly just wants love and companionship.

Mila likes most other dogs and so far seems to be more of a co-exister than an active playmate. She would likely do best with a tolerant dog companion, as she doesn’t always read other dogs’ social cues perfectly yet. She does chase squirrels in the yard, so she is probably not a good fit for cats, though she has not been officially cat-tested.
