Likes: Being with her humans, going for walks, loves meeting people
Dislikes: Being alone
What would be the ideal home? A home that is ready to let Heidi settle in at her own pace! Although, she loves everyone, she does have separation anxiety so a home that can work with that is ideal. Would be suitable for a first time owner.
Good with other cats? Unknown but possible
Good with dogs? Yes, with a slow proper introduction
Good with children? Unknown but possible
Temperament: Sweet, friendly, anxious, lovable
Motivators? Treats
Any commands? Sit, paw, down, leave it
House trained? Unknown
Crate trained? Unknown
How long will it take to settle into a new environment? 3-3-3 rule: First 3 days - Your dog may be overwhelmed and may hide, have a lack of appetite, or test boundaries. Give them space and time to adjust in a quiet room with their bed, food, water, and toys. 3 weeks - Your dog may start to settle in and their personality will emerge. You can expect behavior issues to arise, so set boundaries and expectations with positive reinforcement training. 3 months - Your dog should be comfortable and acclimated to your home. They should know their routine and expect meals and enrichment at specific times.
Any special needs or traits an adopter should know? N/A
