Dog Wagged Her Tail Off, Literally

You've probably heard of a dog that "wags its tail off" but this one literally wagged her tail off from getting excited every time a person came to look at and consider adopting her from the Bloomingdale Animal Shelter. Her tail became so scarred from wagging between the cage that she had to have it cut.

Sugar, a Pit Bull, is a sweet dog that loves attention. She also has a quirky way of eating as her lower jaw is shorter than her upper jaw, so she essentially shovels the food into her mouth. Sugar has been at the shelter for nearly a year.

Age: About four years old

Sex: Female

Breed: Pit Bull

Training: Housebroken and knows some commands.

Socialization: Does not do well with cats but is good with people and children.

Why your tail should wag over Sugar: Sugar requires some extra care (she needs to be walked on a harness because she can pass out if too much pressure is on her neck), but she will give it right back. She is very friendly and loving.

If interested in Sugar, or any other  pet featured on Patch, contact the shelter, located at 23 Brandt Lane, at 973-838-2220. Adoption hours are Monday through Friday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
