My story

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

Approximate Age: 2 years
Approximate Weight: TBD


✅ Dog friendly
✅ Cat friendly- interested but redirected with a stern “leave it”
✅ Kid friendly
✅ Crate trained but would rather not go inside if she can avoid it.

She took a few days to become comfortable with walks and a leash. She is food and treat motivated and now looks for her reward after doing her business.

She is super sweet and calm, very gentle.
