Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Addison has completely recovered and is not hindered at all by the amputation of her front right leg. I call her my 3 legged wonder dog, she is so fast and agile, she can jump up on to the couch, run circles around other dogs, plays chase and wrestles around with her foster siblings. Addison is wild about stuffed squeaky toys, and drags toys with her wherever she goes, absolutely loves playing with them, and will fetch too! She could definitely be an only dog, but she needs an active family with kids and people around most of the time. This girl is very very people friendly, and loves kids too, she'll crawl into just about anyone's lap. She has a bit of a fragile spirit so if she hears yelling or gets scolded for anything she turns into a submissive wiggle worm and squirms as if she is fearful of being spanked. If Addison is adopted in a family with other dogs, would be best with bigger dogs or older dogs who don't love toys as much as she does, she's not so much a fan of sharing her toys. But she is never even slightly aggressive towards humans in any way, she'll just guard her toys from other dogs. Addison has excellent house manners, but she's also crate trained if there was a situation where she needed to be crated. Give her toys and a chewy and she'll be just fine!
