Here's what the humans have to say about me:
*** AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION, FOSTER, or FOSTER TO ADOPT ***
Meet Brussel Sprouts, or Sprouts for short! She is currently enrolled in our P.A.C.K. Program, a 9-week intensive program for routine obedience, agility, and handling training with a prison inmate trainer and she is almost ready to show off her new skills! Her new abilities include 'sit', 'roll over', 'shake' and more! New adopters should realize that PACK Program graduates will require regular, ongoing reinforcement of learned behaviors in order for them to become permanent.
Sprouts is a cutie with the best underbite. Sometimes her little bottom teeth stick out from her lip. She originally came from an overcrowded TX shelter where she spent 1/2 her life. So she is still learning the ropes on how to be the best dog she can be. Once she knows you, you are hers for life. She appreciates slower introductions and chin scratches more than over the head pets.
When it comes to other dogs, Brussel Sprouts can be selective. You can tell she wants to be friends with most dogs.. but acts as if she isn't sure how to interact appropriately. She does better with calmer female dogs. We will do a dog meet with any potential new siblings.
She does have the tendency to protect what she thinks is hers. Sometimes it's a ball, sometimes it's a treat. This is something the PACK program has consistently worked on with her, but will need lifelong management.
She seems to be potty trained and does ok in the kennel. Although she'd prefer to not be kenneled!
We can introduce Sprouts to cats again once she graduates. She was a bit barky around them before.
We just know someone is out there that needs a bit more vegetables to their life! Why not add Brussel Sprouts to the mix? She just needs someone to be consistent with her and show her how to act in the big world. She'll graduate in the middle part of May. Apply to meet her today!
