My story

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

Introducing Cricket!! Cricket is an approximately 2 year-old petite Plott Hound mix weighing in at 38 pounds. Cricket spent over a year in an outdoor shelter, but now has a new leash on life living outside those walls with her foster family. When she first got out of the shelter, she was a scared pup—hiding behind the couch and under the table, not sure what to think of her new digs. Fast forward to today and she is as spunky as ever, zipping around the house with her fur and human siblings and playing with ALL of the toys. There is no favorite toy of hers—they all are! To sum up Cricket’s personality—she is spunky, goofy, playful, and energetic. She gets along well with all of her fur siblings as well as human siblings. We are not sure how she will do with cats as her foster home does not have any.

Cricket is a very smart girl and is very food motivated. She is doing great on a leash and is house and crate trained. She is learning tricks like to sit and give paw. Cricket would thrive in a home with a secure, fenced in yard where she can run and stretch her long legs. We would highly recommend her new home have another dog to continue help her gain confidence in being an inside dog. Cricket is up to date on all required vaccinations, microchipped, and spayed.

Cricket will be available for adoption with Paws Across Pittsburgh on or after 3/10/2024. KL# 16182
