After 543 days at Stafford Animal Shelter, Montana, the well-known pitbull terrier was adopted.

The dog — known for being a little aggressive towards cats and dogs — was adopted last week by a family in the Shields Valley.  

Stafford Program Manager Alicia Davis said the dog was considered a celebrity at the shelter because of how long she was there and her general sweet personality toward people. She would get treats and lots of attention.

“People would sometimes come in just to see her,” she said.
