Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Suzie: Small and spunky! Suzie is a middle-age gal who has so many JRT qualities and definitely thinks she is a lap dog.
Her first few days were very hard and she had a hard time adjusting to the kennel and the shelter as all the noises had her very stressed out, but thankfully after many hours with volunteers Suzie is settling in nicely and loving her off-leash time in our yard as well as long easy strolls where she gets her little legs moving at a good pace!
She has been barky/reactive to the sight of other dogs and cats SO we would love a home where she could have her very own fenced in yard---even if it is just a small area! She plays with toys and has no guarding issues with chewy bones, food bowl, or toys
. Suzie can be a very calm and affectionate dog when given the opportunity and we think she may have enjoyed the company of a human companion because she is most comfortable when she is hanging out in the lobby with us and enjoys greeting new people who come in.
She is a smaller package than most of our other big bullies so if you love the wiggle and muscles of bully breeds but prefer a shorter version and one who is old enough to be PAST adolescent nonsense---Suzie may
