ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:
Hi, I’m Dame — I was found wandering the streets when I was just 3 months old. I’m incredibly sweet and calm, with a strong, motherly presence. I love dogs, children, and adults, and I’m very protective of my pack. If there’s tension or a scuffle between dogs, I step right in to stop any aggressive behavior. I bring “trophies” like stones, bills, or birds to my special human as a way to show my affection. While I walk well on a leash, I’m still getting used to car rides. I can be a little skittish at first, but once I feel comfortable, I definitely look to you for support. I love treats, ear scratches, and being outside exploring, though I’m a fence climber and will need supervision.
HOW AM I WITH DOGS:
I’m good with dogs and play with a puppy-like nature. I do get in the middle of scuffles to keep the peace, so I’m best with dogs who can handle my confident, bossy energy. I might clash with some personalities and need careful introductions.
HOW AM I WITH CATS:
I am way too interested in cats and it would be best if I do not live with any
HOW AM I WITH KIDS:
Good with kids.
I KNOW THE FOLLOWING COMMANDS:
I’m still learning, but I respond well to calm guidance — for example, when I jumped on the counter to check out food, I got down right away when asked “off.”
MY HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING:
Housetrained.
THINGS I LIKE:
Treats, leash walks (especially around common areas), exploring outside, kisses and ear scratches once comfortable.
THINGS I DISLIKE:
Car rides, being rushed to join in play, and being unsupervised around fences (I’m a fence climber!).
