MARSHA Pit Bull Terrier Mix Springfield, MA

Marsha is a lot of dog with a lot of energy! Although she's not the biggest dog around, she's got a lot of spark in her and can be very opinionated. Because of her barking and how energetic she is, she would not be a good fit for an apartment & would do best in a house with a fenced-in yard. She's quite the jumper as well, and will not only jump up on people to greet them, but will test the limits of short fences as well. OTHER PETS: Marsha gets very excited when meeting other similar-sized dogs, often pulling forward to greet them and inviting them to play. She becomes very fixated and over-excited with animals that are smaller and would not be a good match for people with small dogs or cats.

[Experienced] KIDS: Marsha is uncomfortable with some types of handling, and is overall an intense dog who tends to jump and pull strongly on leash.
