Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi, remember me Bretta, the Puppy Mill Dog? Well, I have been with my foster family for a few months now, and I am loving life. My foster mommy and her canine pack have been helping me to overcome my past. My mom says I have made remarkable progress. She loves when I wiggle my whole body and go "woo-woo" when she comes in the door. Also, watching me play with toys, snuggling up to one of my canine friends to sleep. And enjoying a slow but sure leash walk in the yard. I still need a lot of TLC and patience, but I will be the love of your life I promise!
Here is my wish list for a home:
A couple of canine friends ( as I depend on them for comfort and direction)
A quiet home (as loud noises startle me)
Older children (see above)
A couch to snuggle on with or without you
A bed to sleep with you and my canine companions on (I don't take up much room)
Cookies! Upon returning from doing potty outside
Patience while I continue to work on my leash walking
A comfy bed when I need my own space
Riding on your lap in the car until I become more accustom car rides.
Patience, Patience, Patience!
Love, Love,Love!
Love, Bretta
