Baby is a 6-year-old pit bull who has a heart of gold. Baby was surrendered to the shelter because she was too much for her owners to handle. Baby is a big strong gal, but with a little bit of direction she’s already making huge strides on her leash walking. Her favorite things include stuffed toys, toys with squeakers, all sorts of treats, and receiving love and affection from people. She would do well in a home with other dogs and kids. She could do well with cats, but would need very slow introductions. Watch out because Baby is notorious for those big slobbery kisses! To visit Baby, stop by the Humane Society of Rome, 6247 Lamphear Road, call 315-336-7070 or go to www.humanesocietyrome.com.
