My name is Faye and I’m looking for my forever home! I’m a 3 y.o. voluptuous, strong-willed beauty! I came to my foster home here in Machesney Park, IL, from a commercial breeding facility where I made puppies. I’m not used to living in a house with humans, but I’ve figured out how to manage them. I’m a good girl – smart too! I don’t have accidents and I don’t bother anyone or get into any trouble. Well… not anything obvious. Foster dad would like to boss me around. He has tried hooking me up to a harness and a leash to lead me where he wants me to go. Nope. Absolutely not. I don’t make a fuss, though. I just lay there and don’t move. That’s my super power. You see, I’m a big girl. Currently 46 pounds of fabulous – like Lizzo as a red-head and without the glitter. I use all of my glorious presence to my advantage. Mostly, I confound foster dad by lying exactly in front of whatever door he’d like to open. To move me, he’s got to pick up all 46-pounds of me. Ha! He deserves it! Do you know what his pet-name is for me? The Land Whale! I mean seriously! My size doesn’t hinder me at all. I’m lightning fast when I want to be. I can squeeze myself into hiding places in the yard when foster dad wants me to come inside. There are other dogs here in my foster home, but I mostly just keep to myself. I ignore the 3-year-old human. But I’m growing quite fond of the 13-year-old human. I like to hang out in her room and I will usually obey foster mom, which of course drives foster dad crazy!! HA! My perfect forever family will be appropriately patient and understanding – and pet me when I’m ready for affection. If you have dogs or kids or kids, that’s fine. Cats? I’ve never met them, but I can probably ignore them too. You must have a securely fenced yard, since it’s gonna take work for me to be seen in public in that harness and leash contraption! I’m healthy – spayed and vaccinated. If you live in the Midwest and are ready for Fabulous Faye to enter your life, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to apply to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application process helps SIRA make sure we’ll be a good match. Once approved, SIRA will connect you with my foster dad, so we can meet.
