My story

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

🐾 Meet Anu!

Anu is a sweet, people-loving dog who thrives on treats, praise, and being part of the family. She's a mix of playful energy and couch-potato charm, making her a great companion for both active moments and relaxed cuddles.

✅ Strengths:

Food & Treat Motivated: Highly responsive to treats, which makes training easier.

Dog-Friendly: Enjoys playing with other dogs, especially our medium-sized male hound.

Cat-Friendly: Respectful and calm with our dog-savvy cats; shows mild curiosity without fixation or prey drive.

Kid-Friendly: Great with our 8 and 12-year-old boys; enjoys running around in the yard with them.

Affectionate: Loves belly rubs and being near her people—true couch potato at heart.

Crate Trained: Comfortable in her crate; lets us know when she needs to go out or wants to play.

Housebroken: Consistently goes potty outside.

Good Recall: Comes when called while in the yard.

Low Prey Drive: Has not exhibited any prey-driven behaviors.

ℹ️ Additional Info:

Resource Awareness: Anu may show mild resource guarding with high-value items like treats or food. With supervision and continued positive reinforcement, this can be managed well.

Size Awareness: She doesn’t always realize how big she is and may accidentally bump smaller children during play.

🏡 Ideal Home:

Anu would thrive in a home where she’s part of the daily routine—playing, lounging, and getting lots of love. She’d do well with other dogs, cats and children who can match her friendly energy. With a little guidance and lots of love, Anu will be a devoted and easygoing member of the family.
