Here's what the humans have to say about me:
FOSTER LOCATION: Meridian, ID
What weighs 17 pounds, is 18 months old and the mutt of all mutts?
Loca!
This cutie is a Beagle/Heeler/Chihuahua mix – or whatever. She is 18 months old and sadly is in search of a new home. Loca found herself at a local shelter, got adopted and now her adoptive family is unable to care for her.
Loca loves to play with other cats and dogs. She loves tug of war and fetch, and she loves noisy chew toys and bones. She loves to cuddle and is very affectionate, and she is a very loyal companion. Loca loves to go on walks and to play at the dog park.
Loca likes to eat in peace, and doesn't like to share treats or special toys. Loca dislikes kennel time and being told to stay for long periods of time. These things are easy to work on; she’s just a young pup and with some structure and positive reward training all of this is a simple fix.
Little Loca comes when you call her name, and she doesn't bark indoors. She is well behaved and mostly leash trained on walks, and she can run alongside a bike. She is very gentle with kids and animals. Loca can also howl/sing on demand; she can be pretty goofy.
She will run when given the opportunity so she will need a securely fenced yard and is not an off leash candidate. Loca is vocal when new people come to the home; making sure you know someone new is in the house. She is not consistent with commands, but shows great potential; again she has not had any training in her short life. She struggles with potty training when not reinforced at night, pretty sure most of this is because she does not like cold weather or snow on her belly. A scheduled feeding routine and scheduled potty breaks will take care of this also.
Loca really is a lovely, silly little girl who is good with other dogs, kids and adults alike. She has been bounced around a lot in her 18 months and will thrive with some consistency. We would suggest that Loca go to a home with kids over 12; while she is good with kids she tends to get overwhelmed when there is a lot of chaos in the home.
If you can offer Loca a stable home life with lots of love, affection and some training please complete an adoption application at: http://fuzzypawzrescue.com/adopt/adoption-application-2/
