Becky was pulled from a high kill shelter on October 9th, 2013. She was an owner surrender and severely emaciated, testing positive for heartworms. Becky is very playful and highly energetic (her energy level has drastically increased with her newly supplemented diet). She is dog friendly (with both large and small dogs, as well as puppies) and plays well with them. Ropes are other favorite toy!! She does really well with other dogs when toys are involved. No aggressive or possessive behavior. She does incredibly well walking on a leash and is impressively obedient when off a leash. She understands simple commands such as 'come', 'sit', and 'stay'. She is house trained and is not destructive in any way when left alone. She will chase cats!! An important detail to note for anyone with cats, although I have not had the opportunity to observe her around household cats. She would likely do best in an environment where she has plenty of attention and exercise, most likely in a home with another (medium to large size) dog to provide company and to serve as a playmate.
