Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Esmé!
Esmé is a 4-year-old German Shepherd/Poodle mix (Shepadoodle) whose person has to move to a remote area because of work, and unfortunately dogs are not allowed. Esmé has been very well-loved and cared for, and Summit Dog Rescue is stepping in to find her a great forever home.
She has a very playful and sweet personality, she loves people, and she also loves being the center of attention. She loves to play with other friendly dogs who are gentle and want to play nonstop just like she does. She doesn’t like aggressive or territorial dogs (well, who does…).
Esmé is incredibly energetic and never gets tired of playing. She’ll do well with active adopters who can take her hiking and on long walks, and who can spend some time every day doing her favorite thing in the world: playing fetch. She does pull a bit on a leash, but we think leash training will help her with this.
She’s 40 lbs., which is on the smaller side for her breed. She’s spayed, housetrained, up to date on her doggie shots, and crate-trained. At night she’s more than excited to sleep at the foot of the bed but she’s also perfectly comfortable in her crate. She does get anxious initially in new environments and sometimes on car rides, but her crate is her safe place. Like most dogs she doesn’t do well with loud noises like fireworks, sirens, or shooting range noise.
Esmé is untested with cats, so please consider this when applying. She also occasionally jumps around when she’s happy and excited, which isn’t ideal for small children. For this reason we’re saying No Small Kids in the home, please and thanks.
For more info and/or to apply to adopt Esmé, send us an email at SummitDogRescue@gmail.com, telling us a bit about yourself, your home environment and your lifestyle. A volunteer will get back to you as soon as they can.
