Looking for a pint-sized powerhouse with a big personality? Chicken Tender is an adorable adult female mixed breed (likely with some Pit Bull Terrier vibes) currently available for adoption at the Stafford County Animal Shelter in Stafford, VA.
This little spirit may come on a bit intense at first—blame the kennel excitement!—but she warms up quickly and shows her sweet, playful side. She’s tested well with other dogs (especially higher-energy, playful ones) when properly introduced, and she’s shown great potential as an agility dog—perfect for an active owner or family looking to try a fun dog sport together.
Chicken Tender is approximately three years old, spunky, and compact in size—ideal for those wanting a smaller companion with lots of energy and love to give. (Note: The shelter doesn’t know how she does with cats.)
