Animal Services for the City of Arlington, Texas has listed her as a VIP Adoptable Pet as they believe she might be deaf or hard of hearing. So, her adoption fees have been reduced, and she gets to enjoy the spotlight as a special feature. Moreover, on April 30, she got a chance to peek out the window of the facility’s adoption mall. Her viral photo was captured there, as the rescue dog loves being around people and enjoys looking at potential pet parents and staff members.
Unfortunately, Bitsy is still looking for a forever home. The Pit Bull mix will need a responsible owner open to working with her deafness. However, the shelter stated that she is a very smart pup with a fun personality. So, her future pet parents will surely love her company.
