My name is Spats!

I am what everyone calls a "Rare Arkansas Brown Dog!".  My breed is rare and unique. at least that is what my foster mommy says I am.  She told me that I am special because my "breed" is known for its distinctive shade of coffee-with-a-touch-of-mud brown.  She said that my breed is highly sought after for its unique ability to blend into any landscape—especially in the backyards of Arkansas! She also said I am really lovable and even though "Rare Arkansas Brown Dogs" are often mistaken for each other, that we all have our own special quirks which makes us such a fun "breed" to have.  I am pretty sure though that she says all of this so I don't feel bad that she doesn't really know what I am.  

I was part of a litter that nobody wanted.  I am still with my sisters and brothers but I know I need to have my own family. 

I overheard my foster mom telling the nice rescue lady that I am a delightful and snuggly pup with a big personality! Although then I heard her say I can be a bit bossy which sounds bad but she laughed after saying it so I guess she thinks that is cute. I know I can be bossy with my siblings but I also know that I am not the alpha of the pack so even though I am bossy, I know I am really not the boss of anyone. My siblings and my foster brother who is a BIG German Shepherd keep me in check.

One of my favorite things is to follow my foster mom around like I am her shadow. She says I am a Super Velcro dog which must be like being Super Woman or something so it must be good to be a Velcro dog. Me and a couple of siblings can be a little shy at first but once I get to know you I am a happy boundless puppy wanting to be your best friend.

My foster mom said me and my siblings may have a tinge of hound in us because one of our favorite things to do is walk around with our noses to the ground. I LOVE to smell all of the good smells in the grass.

My foster mom also says that I am a clever girl because when she says "kennel," I happily walk inside my assigned crate and I sit down. She thinks it is just because I am so good and I want to make her happy but if I am honest, it's because I know she is going to give me a treat when I sit in my crate nicely when she says "kennel". I also love to take naps in my foster mom's lap. I hope you will adopt me, I am super pretty and delicate and I promise to be good and give you endless love!
