My story

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

Will you be my new mommy (or daddy)?

My name is Remy and I am one of the Westies rescued from the Hunt County puppymill. I am a pleasantly plump girl of about 4 years old. I was adopted, but returned because I just wasn’t quite ready for life in a loving home. Living in a puppymill is rough and I hadn’t learned about house manners and what a loving home could be like. And I’m also deaf, so that makes training a little more challenging.

I’m now in a foster home with a neat dog trainer who is experienced in training deaf dogs and dogs with issues like me. She is helping me learn not to potty in the house and how to respond to hand signals. She calls it doggie sign language. She’s also training me with a vibrating collar to help me learn to come to her when I’m far away. I am learning that I will always have food available so I don’t need to eat everything I can find. (Foster mom says I’m “chunky.” What does “chunky” mean?)

I’m also learning to trust humans. I LOVE attention and having my head rubbed. I’m not so fond of being picked up right now, but I’ll let you do it…I just don’t feel safe being up in the air yet. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE sitting in your lap though. And I would love having another puppy, or even a nice kitty, to play with.

I’m not ready for adoption yet, but keep watching as foster mom says I’m learning very quickly.
