Amanda is a gentle senior dog who is ready for a true second chance. She is incredibly social and loves people and other dogs. After her owner passed away, Amanda was left behind in the home and eventually ended up at the shelter. Losing her person and her home was incredibly confusing for her, but despite everything she has been through, Amanda has remained a kind, loving, and easygoing companion. At around 10 years old, Amanda is well past the chaos of puppyhood and is happiest living a calm, comfortable life. She enjoys soft beds, quiet routines, and simply being near her people. She is the kind of dog who settles in beside you and brings a peaceful presence to the home. Amanda does well with a structured routine and appreciates a relaxed environment where she can feel safe and secure. Like many dogs who have experienced big life changes, she may need a little time to adjust to a new home, but once she settles in, her sweet and loyal personality shines through. Senior dogs like Amanda are often overlooked in shelters, but they make some of the most wonderful companions. They ask for very little and give so much in return. Amanda is fully vetted and ready for adoption. She is looking for a patient, loving home that will give her the stability and comfort she deserves in this next chapter of her life. If you’re looking for a gentle, loyal companion and want to give a deserving senior dog the fresh start she’s been waiting for, Amanda may be the perfect match.

American Pit Bull Terrier

🧠 Temperament

She is incredibly social and loves people and other dogs. Affectionate, people-loving and often startlingly goofy — pit bull type dogs are typically very social with humans.

🎾 Exercise

High — 60+ minutes daily plus chew and puzzle outlets. They are strong and benefit from structured training.

✂️ Grooming

Very easy. Short coat, minimal shedding, thin coat means a winter jacket.

🏙️ In an LA apartment

She enjoys soft beds, quiet routines, and simply being near her people. The main obstacle is paperwork, not the dog: many buildings and insurers restrict pit bull type dogs, and enforcement is based on appearance.

Adoption fee $350
