Happy is a pit bull mix, and her ‘mix’ makes her especially beautiful, with her fringed tail, and thick, soft fur. Her coat & her coloring are gorgeous, but at one point in her life, poor Happy lost one of her ears—and whether is was due to an attempted ear-cropping, or a brush with another animal, we’ll never know. However, whatever Happy has been through, it has not broken her spirit, which is why she earned her very simple, yet very descriptive name. Happy loves affection, and would gladly be your lap doggie if you so choose. She also loves to sniff the great outdoors, more than the average pit bull, which leads us to wonder—is she mixed with a hunting breed? We are told she does like to chase rabbits and squirrels, but she is wonderfully mannered with small dogs and also many large dogs too, only getting grumpy if food or affection is present and they try to impose. Who can blame her for wanting to be a princess?

Although her former caretaker and veterinarian never mentioned it, we believe Happy to be at least partially, if not completely, hearing impaired. She does not respond to her name or any sounds whatsoever that we have been able to tell. She is very attuned to smells and sight, and being deaf does not seem to affect her much, only that you sometimes have to get her attention in other ways when calling her to you. This is not much different form many stubborn dogs we have known!

We are quite fond of Happy ourselves, and only wish we did not have such a full house. She deserves a very special home that gives her all the love and attention that a princess requires. She could live happily in a multi-dog home as long as she got some one-on-one time with her favorite thing in the world—you!! Happy is house & crate trained, and will sit for a treat. She is so very smart, and doesn’t need her ears a bit—she has a gigantic heart to guide her.
