callistotoniChloe! Or, as Maria has dubbed her, PandaCowDog. ;-) I met Chloe last weekend when a Big Dawgs Rescu had a meet and greet in downtown Livermore, and I knew she needed to live with us. Chloe was found in the back of a grocery store in Stockton a few weeks ago. She'd obviously recently had puppies. Chloe's estimated to be about a year or so old.
Chloe is the most affectionate dog I've ever met, and that includes Thorvald of Blessed Memory. All she wants to do is be snuggled up with you. She's calm, too.
So far so good with the kitties. Chloe has shown an interest, but no aggression towards them. We will be very careful about Madeline/Chloe interaction.
Yes, indeed, Chloe is a pit mix. She weighs 43 lbs right now and it's all muscle. She was living with 8 other dogs in her foster home and all was well. We will be working with Chloe to make sure she stays good with other dogs. On the trail by our house this morning we ran into 8 other dogs and 6 of those she ignored, but we did get a small grr on two. She was great at the meet and greet last and this weekend, though. Definitely will continue to train. She really is a good girl!
Who knows what her live was like. J/S thinks that someone docked her ears with a knife because the edge is rough. :-( She's been through a lot and the rescue folks think she's been a champ throughout. She's certainly been a love muffin with us these last 24+ hours. :-)
Oh, and there's a Cone of Shame in her future: her spaying appointment is Dec. 1. ;-)

(Zamboni is choosing not to comment, but I'm pretty sure she supports rescue puppies.)
