Chickpea A492401 • 8 mo-old • Female • Pit bull mix • about 40 lbs • Pen 52 • arrived 11/14/2007

Chickpea was adopted by a great young couple who just fell in love with her.

People say I look like a pirate with my black eyepatch. It’s true that I’m trying to steal your heart. I’ve been at the shelter for over 2 whole months now, and I really want to find my forever home. I’m a favorite of the volunteers here and they take good care of me, but it’s just not the same as having a family to call your own. I’m a happy-go-lucky girl who’s always ready for some fun, whether it’s playing fetch in the backyard or showing off my great leash manners on the trail where I’m already a regular. Are you looking for a girl like me to complete your family?

Chickpea likes to play rough! Consider your dog’s play style if considering her for adoption.
