I'm Swift, Adopt Me!
Mix | Adult | Female

Swift is a stunning black Pittie with a heart as warm as her coat. She's a shining example of the breed's friendly, outgoing nature. With her gentle disposition and boundless energy, Swift is sure to steal your heart. Swift is a social butterfly who loves meeting new people and making friends wherever she goes. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious, and she's always ready to greet you with a wagging tail and a big smile. Swift's friendly nature extends to everyone she meets, whether they're two-legged or four-legged. She has a natural affinity for other dogs and enjoys spending time with her K9 companions, lounging around and playing games together.

This animal's adoption fee has been prepaid by a generous donor!

    [shelter_desc] => We’re on a mission to unleash happiness. Dogs and cats aren’t just animals we take care of. They take care of us too. When you bond with a pet, it is scientifically proven to make you healthier and happier. But you don’t need a bunch of research to tell you that. You can feel it with every belly rub or every time they rush to greet you at the door. Creating that feeling has been our driving purpose for more than 30 years.

We are Joybound People & Pets, formerly the Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF). Headquartered in Walnut Creek, CA, Joybound is committed to forming, supporting, elevating, and celebrating the human-animal bond through cat and dog rescue and adoption and services such as training and veterinary care, food and supply assistance, therapy and service-animal programs, and rich learning resources for all pet families. Our goal is for every adoption story to become a lasting tale of friendship, love, and mutual happiness.
