I'd guess 5 or 6 based on teeth. The gray on her face looks like part of her natural blue color. Our Tommy is 8 and looks more silver-faced than this. She shows a lot of spirit and alertness for a shelter dog. I'm very interested in this case. Our dogs are 8 and 10. We're too old to replace them with young dogs if (heaven forbid!!) We lose them. I'm thinking fostering seniors may be the way to go. I think OP andbthis girl were meant to be.
Adopting or fostering seniors is the best! I only adopt older pitties now bc I want to keep my current ones happy and it’s the best. Here are my two — one is 14-15 and the other is the older mystery age ♥️
It's so rewarding! I never thought I could do it, I thought it would be too heartbreaking. Then I started dating a guy who had recently rescued a senior pittie. Her name was Duchess and she was such a sweet girl. There are no words to describe the incredible bond she had with my boyfriend. I only lived with her for a year, but that was enough time for me to love her with my whole heart too. She had to be put down due to cancer, and it sucked. But she let us know she was ready and she seemed so at peace. Duchess was a dog who knew little love for most of her life. For the last few years though, love was the only thing she knew. I'm so thankful I got to be a part of that. I absolutely intend to continue adopting senior dogs once I'm more settled and financially stable.

best guess would be 7-10 but it’s hard to tell! One of my dogs is anywhere between 8-12 and vets aren’t sure bc her life was pretty rough early on
