Meet Pecan, an 8-year-old, female pit bull mix weighing 72 pounds. She’s a big gal with an even bigger heart. She is extremely sweet, loving and affectionate, and despite her size, she is convinced she makes the perfect lap dog. She loves to cuddle with people and is so gentle with everyone she meets. When she’s not being a lazy dog, she enjoys going for walks outside, playing with toys and car rides. She walks well on her leash and loves to go new places. If you’re looking for a laidback girl to share your life with, she’s the one for you.
