Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi People,
My name is Delaney! I’m a happy and very sweet little 11-pound bichon mix of one who is a beautiful blend of cinnamon and white. I am exceptionally alert, playful (love chasing the ball) and very active; however, when it’s time to be quiet and rest, I know how to get the job done. Mom says I am the best ever at walking into my kennel at the end of the day, finding a comfortable spot, and resting quietly until she says it’s time to get up in the morning.
Dad says I greet everyone with tremendous enthusiasm, but need to ensure strangers are gentle and kind before I become close friends. Once I know I’m safe, I’ll roll over and let them rub my belly, and I’ll even give them a few kisses to seal the deal. I definitely want to be in the same room with my family, and be a part of the action, so I keep a very close eye on everyone and everything that goes on.
Mom also says I’m as sweet as I am pretty — and my foster sisters (the ones with two legs) say I’m the best cuddler in the universe.
I am eager to learn new things, and honestly, I am completely giddy for those bite-sized, scrumptious training treats Mom hands out when she is teaching me commands such as sit, stay and here.
Dad says I like to walk and go for rides in the car. Mom says I’m almost housebroken – but, honestly, I have never broken anything in the house! While I love to be loved, I’m also independent and an ‘in charge’ kind of girl.
I think other male furkids are great – but I don’t do as well with other females. I am attracted to bigger dogs (probably because I think I’m a big dog) and I’m not fond of the felines. Mom says I would do well in a home with a slightly older male dog who is willing to help me learn in a nurturing and supportive way.
Dad says I’d be best in a home where there are two-legged kids I can love and adore – and a family that I can love with all my heart.
Mom says I need to be in an environment where everyone is careful about keeping the doors and gates closed when I’m not in a kennel or on a leash, because I love to run and play “catch me if you can”. Mom says I’m really quick on my feet. Dad says I’m an amazingly smart and clever little girl who pays attention to everything.
So if you are looking for a be-ute-ee-ful and loyal little girl who will keep you smiling and warm your heart, then I’m the girl for you.
I’ll be waiting and watching for your adoption application. Please remember to ask for Darling and Dainty Delaney.
