My story

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

* Gorgeous girl that showed up at our shelter very skinny and in poor shape
* Was lucky enough to find her way into one of our amazing foster homes
* Lives with several dog hound siblings and does very well
* Incredibly sweet and loves attention from her people- ear rubs are her favorite
* Quite the cuddler and will lean into you for more pets and love
* Enjoys sunbathing, sampling various treats, talking, and playing with her foster dog sibling
* Not a fan of thunderstorms (has trouble relaxing and sitting still)
* Fantastic for nail trims and baths- loves spa days
* Smart girl that knows several commands (sit, come, stay, no)
* Prefers a special stuffed Kong or West Paw toy when going into her crate
* Requires a heavy duty style of crate and takes an anxiety medication daily
* A little too interested in cats for our liking- needs a kitty free home
* Would likely do well in a home with children
