Christy is a gentle, affectionate girl who likes being petted and getting lots of belly rubs. When she needs to burn some energy (and she has a lot!) she likes car rides, fetch, running, tugging, toys, and walks. She is a zoomie queen. She enjoys leading while on a leash and is curious about everything. She is quite the jumper and can jump 3-foot fences. At the shelter, she can easily jumpy 4-foot walls so no telling how high this athletic girl can go if given the chance. She was found as a stray and her finder, after eight days, said that she is house trained. She goes to the door when she needs to go out. She weighs 47 pounds and plans to keep growing. She is friendly and playful with other dogs but has no experience with children that we know of. She knows the sit, come, and fetch commands. She is mischievous and got into trouble by chewing, digging, racing out the door, jumping on furniture, and jumping those challenging fences. Please offer this lovable social butterfly the home and family she deserves. (tw 2/10/2023)
