It breaks my heart to have to do this, but after the passing of my partner of 23 years, I must move in about a week to an apartment that does not accept pit bulls. I am urgently looking for a loving home for Sheeba, who has been my loyal and constant companion. Sheeba is a spayed eight-year-old female pit bull/lab mix, in good health, and up to date on her shots. She loves playing fetch and sitting beside me expecting constant petting. I have never had a more loving companion, and finding her a good home is the most important thing in my life. I live in Hendersonville, NC.
