Kathika, American bulldog and pit bull terrier mix

Kathika means bestower of courage. I'm only 9 months, but I was kept in a cage and neglected. I'm slowly coming out of my shell and learning to walk on a leash. My foster mom calls me the queen of snuggling. I need a patient owner who lets me progress on my own terms. Could you be my bestower of courage? I could really use some right now.
