Blanche is a super sweet, gentle girl who is currently living in one of our amazing foster homes!!
Here is a note from her foster: `Blanche is an 8 yo pit/lab mix that came to me as a foster 2 weeks ago. She is a delightful, sweet and tender girl that loves affection and relaxing strokes. She`s a bit shy initially but really blossoms when we go out exploring outside or in the woods...nose to the ground constantly sniffing and totally fascinated by everything going on around her. Her energy and curiosity belie her age. As she isn`t a very confident girl, she needs exposure to new things in a calm manner. She sleeps soundly through the night and does well on her own, gated in a bedroom, when I`m away from the house. She enjoys interactive play with me and chewing on her Nylabone or discovering treats in her Kong. She isn`t a morning eater and isn`t one to overeat. She gets tasty soft chews when we`re working on some commands like `come` or `quiet`. We`re still working on her loose leash walking skills but she is making so much progress!! She really loves the freedom she gets on the 25` long line when we`re exploring. This beautiful soul is hoping for a forever home in the near future. She brings joy to those around her everyday and can`t wait to snuggle with you!”
