Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Name: Sally
Age: 3 years old
Disability: Missing Left eye, from past injury
Breed/Weight: Terrier Mix, 38 pounds
History: Sally was a stray in a West Virginia shelter
Sally has been in various foster homes as well as on-site at the PWD facility. However, she thrives in a home environment with a routine and lots of structure. She is a fast learner who wants nothing more than to please her owner and received their love and approval. While Sally may initially appear very high energy, she is learning each day to greet humans and other dogs more politely. She’s a confident, alpha female who would be good as an only dog or with a larger, non-reactive companion.
This one-eyed gal loves to play with humans or by herself. Tennis balls, squeaky toys and skinneez are some of her favorites. She also does puzzles and loves pupsicles (wet food frozen with water) on hot afternoons! Once playtime is over, Sally curls up near her foster for some much needed sleep.
Sally LOVES to give kisses to humans and other dogs and even lives with cats and a rabbit in her foster home. Normally, it is a peaceful setting unless one runs from Sally and she thinks they are playing chase! Therefore, she is working on her ‘here’ recall. While she occasionally has accidents due to excitement or changes, she has responded very well with structured routines and quiet time in her crate. Sally is perfectly crate trained and walks well on a leash. She knows the following commands- sit, down, off, stay, touch, watch, leave it, here, crate) and learns more each week at obedience class.
Within two weeks of being in her recent foster home, she patiently awaits mealtime by sitting and waiting for the ok command to begin eating. She also sits for her leash to be taken on and off when going out. She’s currently working on ‘leave it’ with treats (so tough as she’s food driven)! Sally is an absolute love and will bring her owner lots of joy!
