My story

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

Fostering in Pittsburgh, PA - transport available to her perfect family!
2 years old, 45 lbs, spayed female
UTD on vaccines, microchipped, & on monthly heartworm/flea/tick preventatives

✅ Good with men & women
✅ Good with older children
✅ Good with other dogs (requires a companion)
✅ Good with cats

- housetrained
- crate-trained; does not need to be crated, but needs a crate available as a safe space
- shy with new people and takes a while to warm up; once she knows you, she is a sweetheart who will seek affection gently (licks your hand and wags her tail)
- no small children as they are too much for her while adjusting to a new environment
- will bark and retreat to her crate when unknown (to her) visitors come to your home
- Relies heavily on other dogs when adjusting to change or interacting with something/someone new so she will require a confident canine companion
- occasionally plays with the other dogs but is low energy herself and prefers dogs who are not constantly in her face seeking interaction
- neutral with our cats and doesn't mind them sitting on the leather chair with her or grooming her coat
- loves toys and will carry them around the yard or to her crate, she'll tell you she loves plush toys but she will also promptly tear them apart
- walks well on leash when accompanied by a person & dog she trusts. Leashes/collars were a foreign concept to her when she arrived and it took her a while to be comfortable with them so she will likely regress a bit with a new family until trust is built. She still gets nervous at times but recovers quickly. She will now go to the door to be leashed with loose body language & a wagging tail when her collar is put on
- will require a secure, physically fenced yard

*Andy takes daily fluoxetine to help her manage her anxiety. It is about $20 every 2-3 months.*
