My story

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

Socialization: Juliette is a very sweet girl and loves being with her people and her 3 resident male setter brothers. She loves to snuggle and wants lots of attention and affection from you once she has accepted you! She came to us as a very timid and "scared of everything" puppy, but she has made a lot of progress to accept her human fosters, her house surroundings, and her daily outside environment. An adopter will need to take things slow and understand that she will still need more work and the possibility of moving to a new environment may revert her temperament and the process may start all over again. Meeting new people is still a bit traumatizing for Juliette. She wants to hide and run away rather than trust the person. Vet appointments have been really tough for her meeting new people in a small room. At her first appointment she was very scared and tried to bite a technician that was attempting to take her temperature. This was very defensive reaction and wasn’t in an aggressive manner. She needed to be muzzled for the safety of the technicians. So moving to an entire new environment with an adopter will definitely take her some time to process and learn to trust her new people. She loves to play with her resident male setter brothers, but a barking dog while on a leash walk or from the neighbor’s dog is still a bit scary for Juliette. She will pull hard on the leash to run or wants to come inside to the safety of her home immediately. She has not been tested with cats, but she has discovered her "hunting skills" outside and has begun chasing birds, squirrels and chipmunks. She has starting "pointing" at wildlife too. Sometimes she is so occupied with hunting on a bathroom break that she forgets to potty and then will have an accident by the door after coming in.



Training:  She is a young, excitable dog with lots of energy and we are still working on her manners to not jump up when she gets excited, wants attention or wants to go outside. She is very good at recall and coming when she is called to come, and has done well staying close to the door off leash with the use of an electronic beeper collar. We are working on "stay" and "down", but she "sits" on command and shakes "paw" really well. She is very smart, she learned to shake paw in less than one week!



Crate trained:  Juliette is not a fan of the crate, probably because she prefers to stay with her humans. She does not usually go in willingly without a treat, and she cries and barks to be let out. She is young and inquisitive, and has been known to look for “trouble” when she gets bored, so we do crate her when we are not home. She chews and destroys anything left inside the crate such as a blanket or bed, but she likes her Benebone (nylonbone) which is virtually indestructible. Hopefully she will grow out of this as she gets older.



Housebroken: Still working on it. With sufficient outings, she does fine. We let her out every 2 hours when we are home. She enjoys watching birds and chipmunks through the sliding doors and gets excited easily, if you don’t let her out she will have an accident at the door. When we leave the house, she is okay in her crate for 4-5 hours.



Leash trained: Juliette does pull on the leash, but being a pocket size it is manageable. She gets excited to go on walks and is very alert surveying her surroundings on walks. She doesn’t necessarily try to go after birds or squirrels, but does more of a hunting weave back and forth and will circle around you while walking. And as stated earlier, a dog barking while walking past a house will put her on full alert to run away so I firm grip on leash handle is a must.



Activity level/requirements:  Juliette is young and very energetic, she loves to run in the yard and engage in dog play with her brothers, hunt for birds and chipmunks and practice her hunting skills.



Fence requirements:  Juliette loves to be outside to watch the birds, squirrels, deer, etc., so she would likely enjoy a fenced in yard, but it is not required. Currently she has learned her boundaries at our house (country woods acreage setting), so with the use of an electronic beeping collar she goes outside on supervised outings off leash and stays very close to the door in the yard. She can run and play with the resident dogs and perform her zoomies! I think she would do well with an invisible fence also, especially as she is still a bit cautious of her surroundings she doesn't want to wander away from her comfort zone. And she is very smart and a fast learner.



Health History:  Juliette is up to date on her vaccinations and is spayed. She is on monthly heartworm, flea/tick preventative



Foster Comments:  Juliette is nervous in the car and salivates severely during the trip and will eventually throw up. We don't know if its motion sickness or simply being outside her comfort zone traveling to someplace new. Once arriving to the destination she seems to rebound quickly and is fine. We have tried front seat on a human lap, backseat on a blanket, and also back cargo area of an SUV all with same outcome.

Foster Location: Slippery Rock, PA



Volunteer transport can be arranged in the Continental US within a 1,000-mile distance between adopters & foster home. If interstate transport is provided for your adopted dog, there will be an additional charge of $75.00 for the required Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI).  Typically, we are able to transport your adopted dog to within 2 hours of your home. *Dogs can be adopted outside the 1000-mile transport distance; however, adopters must be willing to either fly their adopted dog, drive to a location within the 1000-mile transport range, or make independent transport arrangements for their adopted dog. Transports to far Western states, from Eastern states, may have additional restrictions.
