My story

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

Zoë is a 9 mo. old pup. She is extremely sweet and loves her humans. She adores children. Her initial energy upon meeting someone is intense, (whimpering, shaking, her whole body wags with her tail) and sometimes that scares little toddlers, but after getting her excitement out after the first 5-10 minutes, she is much calmer. She loves to play and needs about 1.5 hours of exercise, which can be spread throughout the day in 15-30 minute increments. After a good exercise session (she loves frisbee!) give her a bully stick and somewhere cool to lay down and she is content to hang out and keep her eye on you. She can be left out in a fenced-in backyard on her own for 1-2 hours at a time, and she is also crate trained. She has great bladder control and she rests/sleeps easily in her crate from 7 pm-8:30/9 am. She responds to basic commands such as: sit, down, lay down, crate up, shake, roll over, and leave it. She gets very wary and anxious around other dogs, so socialization is key.
