My story

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

We named her Curly because she has an amazing wavy coat (and Wavy seemed like an odd name for a dog). She came in as a stray but clearly she knows all about living with a family. Curly likes to be near her people and she loves attention. She's not big on toys but she loves a good bone to chew and can entertain herself for hours with one. She does like to chase the other dogs when they are playing ball and running after things. She gets in other dogs faces a little bit but will back off when she is told. Curly is a sweet girl who used to be afraid of leaving the house but now she jumps right into the car for trips to the dog park. She's shy about walking but we just went around the block for the first time on Oct 22.. We were so proud of her for that! At her foster home there is a cat and small dog. Initially she thought they were fun to chase but now she ignores them. Her herding drive flairs up now and again and she nips at the small dog. She is fine with older kids but I could picture her trying to herd a houseful of small children so that might not be her ideal home. She is low drive in the sense that she doesn't need to be busy all day she's perfectly happy to be near you and curl up on the couch nearby. She doesn't demand alot but she's got alot of love to give. Would you like to meet her?
