- I may start off shy and reserved, but I am a happy fun girl who loves to play and smile
- I get along great with other dogs and want to play!
- I would love a home with another dog. I love my foster's dog.
- I get along great with cats too!
- I am working on potty manners. I prefer privacy, so I may sneak away in the house to do my business.
- I am a good girl for bath time. My thick coat will need consistent grooming
- I am working on my leash skills but they are fast improving! If I have a little panic, a soft voice and some clucking/kissing help me move along
- I loveeee being outside. It’s where I used to live! I love to run around and roll in the leaves. I would love somewhere secure where I could run and play!
- I also loveeee a comfy place to rest. Dog beds and the couch are my favorite!
- I use my crate as my safe space, and will go in and out as I please. If you put me in my crate and I can’t see you, I will take about 10 minutes to settle. If you put me in my crate and leave right away, I settle just fine!
- I also do a lot better if my crate is in the room where the humans are sleeping at night.
- In fact, I love being around my humans or other dogs. I am not a big fan of being alone
- My foster mom says my personality is perfect. I'm a total cuddler, but also spunky
- I am lacking confidence, but I want to please my person! Obedience/ training classes would probably be great for me.
- I appear to be a picky eater and would like a combination of yummy foods to appease my appetite
You can still come adopt me or even join our foster program to help the humans learn all the awesome things about new dogs like me! Learn more on our website!
