My story

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

What’s velvety, a bit wrinkly, and as cute as a button? It’s Sting Sting!!! In her former home of three years Sting Sting did well with kiddos and other dogs and was described as independent and calm. During a two month stay in a foster home she was well-behaved when left home alone, was housetrained with a doggy door, and was described as a loving snuggle bug with a goofy, playful personality. Sting Sting’s foster said that she is super sweet and LOVES attention.

“Sting Sting is the sweetest. She loves to roll around on the couch or her cushy bed and grumble. She loves to rub on her people (or the walls) like a bear. She plays daintily with other dogs but prefers to lounge on the couch. She is housebroken and has a good energy.”

In another foster home Sting Sting did well with a 7-year-old kiddo, slept near her foster person at night and was house trained. She sat politely to be leashed up and loves to jog on leash.

“Sting Sting is soooo velvety soft and cuddly- snuggles galore! She always does a big stretch before she lays down and before she goes out of the house. When she smiles it`s so cute and she has a little crooked tail. When I drive with her, she likes to stand with her paws in the cup holder. She grazes on grass like a little cow. It`s very funny.”

Yet another foster sang Sting Sting’s praises too:

“Stingy is the sweetest, most well behaved, and loyal dog out there. She loves long walks and will even pop in a coffee shop with you. She is very social; it may take her a while to warm up to new people but she has no behavioral issues. As much as I wish I could hug Stingy for the rest of her time, I know she deserves a loving, calm home where she can be with her forever family.”

Sting Sting would like to meet any resident dogs before heading home to ensure a good fit or will happily hog all your attention as your one and only! Ask to meet Sting Sting today!!
