My story

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


Memaw came from our grandmother. She is a friendly, energetic 9 year old. Ideally, her experienced companion person would be a home-body that stays active with her as she is a velcro-dog. She’ll jog or chase a ball, but doesn’t care for chew toys. Memaw loves warm laps by the TV. Her person would need to patiently set boundaries as she barely knows “sit” & “lay down” & will likely eat things she shouldn’t when unsupervised. So she needs a calm, clean home. She needs more house training because she grew up with a doggy door, but luckily she’s good on leash walks.
Though she’s friendly with animals, she’s doesn’t understand boundaries, & may be too much for them.
Memaw is currently praise & treat-motivated as she is underweight (14lbs) but should be about 16-18lbs, so extra meals & potty breaks are required till then.
She has mild skin allergies, but knows groomers & is mostly calm on car rides.
She’s had puppies before, but is now spayed. She has one shorter ear due to an old injury.
