What my friends at ACC say about me:
I love getting pets and - you guessed it - snuggles!
I don't always like to share my food, toys or bedding with other animals.
I will need daily physical activity to keep me healthy and happy!
A Volunteer Wrote: This girl smiles. It isn't just me: Someone else commented on it as well, but it's no surprise given her innate happiness, even in the shelter. She delights in snuggles, running around the back, and snarfling down treats; she shows no reactivity to other dogs, and adores every human she meets. Volunteers praise her sweetness, loving nature, and exuberance, not to mention her athleticism: Once as she was being led back to her pop-up crate, she jumped on top of it like a baby goat. Obsidian is ready to bring endless delight into your life!
My #BoroughBreak Buddy Writes: Obsidian and I spent a very cold day walking around Central Park and Riverside Park, and she was so well mannered throughout.
Her leash manners are largely very good, with her leading the way but walking either loose leash or with very mild pressure. If you want her to walk perfectly at heel, it will take a bit more training, but she was a very easy dog to walk as is.
She showed no reactivity to dogs or people, although she would lunge toward squirrels and would occasionally pull toward birds, although she was easily redirected and didn't fixate.
We took a brief pitstop at my apartment to warm up, and she handled the three flights up and down very well, staying behind me and taking it slow. Inside, she wanted to sniff and jump up on everything, so I kept her on leash, and she soon calmed down, and we relaxed for a bit before heading back out.
Obsidian doesn't appear to know commands, but she is very treat motivated, and I imagine she will be a fast learner. If you are an active person who is excited to work on some basic training with a very sweet, very well mannered dog, you're going to find a best friend in Obsidian!
