My story

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

**I’m currently enjoying a break from the shelter in a foster home, but I’m still looking for my forever family! If you’d like to meet me, please contact the shelter to schedule a visit.

Intake Reason: Surrendered, protective of kids
Weight: 88 lbs

Known with:
·Cats: Lived with 11yo NM & 8yo SF
·Dogs: Lived with 11yo NM Shep/Husky. Attended doggy day care, played with neighbor dogs.Participates in WCHS`s playgroups.
·Kids: Good with 10mo and 3yo.

Fun Facts About Me:
•I should probably start with the “elephant” in the room and admit that I have a few pounds to lose so I am looking for a home who will be committed to my weight loss program, feed me a healthy diet, limit my calorie intake and provide daily low impact exercise
•I enjoy taking walks and exploring but am not a fan of water so swimming exercise is not for me
•I must confess that I get a little wiggly when it is time to trim my nails and I hide when it is time to vacuum the floor because I think they make a scary noise
•I have participated in playgroups at the shelter with calm pooches and although I am cool about hanging out with other dogs, I mostly keep to myself
•I am a friendly and smart gal who knows the cues for ‘sit’, ‘down’, ‘come’ and ‘kennel-up’
•In my previous home I knew to go to the door and whine to ask to be let outside to use the facilities
•I am comfortable in a crate and in my previous home had a comfy cozy ‘den’ of my own where I could relax and chill when alone or at night
•I have been described as a calm couch potato who can be a smidge stubborn at times; sometimes I just need some gentle coaxing to get my body moving
•Although I can be a wee bit shy at first, once I am comfortable my true playful nature blossoms
•I am a quiet lass but can be a bit vocal when I’m playing
•I am an affectionate girl who thinks tender scratches, snuggles and cuddles are lovely

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Visit the shelter. We have an application that takes about 15 minutes to fill out once you have found a pet you like. You call back the next day which gives us time to review the application and gives you 24 hours to think about your decision to adopt. You can also complete our on-line application and get approved in advance of finding the perfect companion. Once approved, you are able to adopt an animal the same day.
