My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

She knows basic commands like come and sit. Loves to play with toys and is learning to fetch, return, and drop tennis balls. She is a very smart little lady and you will find her to be very attentive and eager to learn.

Marsha can be possessive with toys. Fetch and drop training is helping with that issue. You just need to exercise a little care when taking toys away from her. Telling her to drop it and showing her a treat will help.

Marsha would be best in a home with adults and her adopter familiar with her breed. She is showing great affection with people who have taken the time to get to know her. It would be best if her potential adopter interact with her several times at Save-A-Pet before taking her home. That would give her time to become familiar with a new person and make her transition to a new home easier.

Update: Guess what, some may have thought I was not good with other dogs but let me tell you something, I am actually doing pretty well in the doggie play groups here. We are just having fun like kids would at recess. (Of course, this still means that I may not like every single dog but do you like every single person?) So if you have a dog, why don’t you bring him in so we can meet and see how we may do together.
