Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Louise! “Weezie” for short. Isn’t she the cutest with that curly tail? She is such a goofy girl and a fantastic dog. She has the funniest bark. It’s a combination of a bark and a yodel. Louise is a gentle soul with a big heart, just waiting for the right person to earn her trust. She needs an adopter with a calm home and a patient approach who can give her the space and time she needs to blossom.
While in foster care, she has been amazing. She is house broken with no accidents. Crate trained, just say “kennel”, point to crate and step back, she will go in - Treat - Once her routine was established, she had free roam of the house, unless they left, as she is still a puppy and doesn’t know what toys are hers. Responds immediately to “eh”, “mine” and “leave it”. Knows “nite, nite” means bedtime and when she gets in the crate, she gets a treat. She loves her treats! Loves playing in the backyard but if you give her a chew bone, she will probably just go bury it. If she is crated, she will whine if she needs to go out, otherwise, she will go sit at the door. She will do the same when she is ready to come in and if you don’t notice her, she will tap the door with her paw. Does not have separation anxiety and not afraid of storms.
Has no aggression of any kind. She sleeps thru the night and loves sleeping in. Quite the princess! Amazing, right? She walks ok on the leash (no flexi-lead) – loud noises, or large dogs tend to be overwhelming. She’s learning to pause and refocus with a little guidance. She seems to have a high prey drive for squirrels/bunnies, so remain alert and redirect. Foster family has a cat and they had no problems. One note – she does find security in her leash, so if she doesn’t want to come out of the crate, put her leash on, leave it on floor and give her a few minutes. Then see if she will come out with some gentle guidance.
Are you that special person with lots of treats for Louise? Are you the one who can commit to her the time and patience she will need to begin to feel safe and loved? If so, you will never find a more rewarding experience with a dog than this.
