Northland Dog of the Week

​Meet Pinta, a 6-month-old Pit Bull Terrier mix with a beautiful chocolate and white coat, currently available for adoption at KC Pet Project's Zona Rosa Adoption Center. Weighing 40 pounds, Pinta is an energetic and playful puppy who thrives on interactive games, especially chase. She would love to have a canine roommate who enjoys playtime as much as she does. Pinta is spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations, making her ready to join her forever home. If you have a dog at home that needs a friend and loves to play, bring them to meet Pinta!
