Sweet little Gloria is a bit shy but loves sitting on the lap of her foster mom. She is nervous, but once she has been introduced to you, she is anxious to be friends.
Gloria has practically mastered her potty schedule. She doesn’t ‘signal’ to go outside, but she does know which door to go to. When taken out at regular intervals, she is very good at her potty duties. She should be taken out anytime she wakes from napping, first thing in the morning, a few times throughout the day, and before bed. Anytime there is a change in their routine, dogs need a moment to adjust.
We will be requiring a fence; she is not leash trained. Please remember how very small she is, and she will not be getting any bigger, 7lbs is it. So your fence will need to be very secure, even better, have an x-pen to safely let her out to do her potty duties. Since she will have to do potty duties immediately upon arriving at her new home, you will need a safe plan for that, therefore a fence is required.
Gloria would do best if she had a canine friend of similar size, she has enjoyed having friends in her foster home. Loud noises & sudden movements make her nervous. She would likely not be happy in a home with small children or puppies. She would do best in a quiet home where she can just relax with her family.
Please let us know if your home would provide the right Zen for Gloria to relax & snooze her days away!
