My story

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

Please contact foster parent at maria.marshall28@gmail.com

House broken
Crate trained
•doesn’t like to go in, but once in is fine (quiet, not destructive, no accidents)
•Will bark for a minute or 2 when you leave but settles quickly
Did great with her bath!
•Distracting her with ball helped
•Was ok with me wrapping my arms around her to wash and being dried off with a towel
LOVES balls and being outside
•Fenced yard please!
•Ball obsessed
•Be careful when taking ball - have to distract her or trade for treat
Very picky with treats, but responds well to affection and toys
•no interest in PB Kong or lick mats
•Takes treats gently when you say “easy”
LOVES affection and cuddling, just needs a little time to warm up
•A little wary of physical touch at first - would go stiff when I pet her - but then would immediately nudge me and burrow into me for more pets. More relaxed now and has even showed me her belly!
•Lets me wipe her paws when she comes inside
Adaptable medium energy - will run around in the yard and play with toys, but easily chills out inside
Cutest pittie girl strut
Interaction with resident dogs: has only sniffed them thru the gate so far - sometimes relaxed and sometimes stuff bodied, but no growls or barks unless there’s food
Jumpy when excited - working on it
•Very excitable when going outside
Not tested with kids, cats, or men
Does well on leash! Doesn’t pull too badly with harness on
Commands: getting really good with “sit” and “easy” (when taking treats)
