Story
Meet Delilah! Fast facts: Breed: true mutt, but foster mom guesses bull dog, Boston terrier, catahoula leopard dog mix. Weight: 25 pounds Age: 2 years young! House/Crate trained: yes! Delilah hasn’t had a single accident while living in her foster home, and she even knows the word “outside”! She also goes right into her crate and is quiet while she’s in it. Energy level: medium energy. She loves to cuddle with you on the couch most of the time, but also occasionally loves to chase a ball or play tug of war! Tricks: Delilah is smart and food-motivated and has already learned sit and stay in the short time she’s been in her foster home. Noisiness: quiet most of the time, but may bark when someone comes in the house, or if she sees a stranger outside. She would likely do fine in an apartment. * Delilah would thrive as an only dog. * Delilah is good with calm, tolerant dogs with an experienced adopter. Delilah can be a little pushy, so she is best with dogs who understand this and are okay with it, and an owner who can step in if she is getting to be too much for the other dog. * Delilah would do best in a home without cats. * Delilah would do best with older kids or dog savvy kids who understand and respect her boundaries. Personality: Shy and scared at first, but once she warms up (which is usually pretty quick), she absolutely ADORES her humans! She is super cuddly and wants to be right next to you at all times. Delilah came from a home with 5 other dogs, and she likely didn’t get much to herself. Because of this, she came to her foster home with resource guarding issues, primarily around toys and her humans. She would guard her humans against other people and even pets, and didn’t want anyone else getting near her humans. With toys, she would growl whenever anyone tried to take them from her. She has made a lot of progress in her foster home on both of these fronts - she has learned “leave it” and “drop it”, she has learned that there are boundaries for her human-time (ie she is only allowed to get cuddles when we allow it), and she has learned that she can trade toys for treats or other items. For this reason, we think Delilah would do best with an experienced adopter who will continue to work on her training, so that she continues to build confidence and trust! Bio: Meet Delilah! This medium sized, 25 pound girl is already full grown at 2 years old. The best part? Delilah looks like a permanent puppy! Just look at those big old eyes - gorgeous half brown, half blue in both eyes, that make her look like a pound puppy or a littlest pet shop toy! She will melt your heart with those puppy dog eyes when she meets you! Her eyes aren’t the only thing unique about Delilah. Check out her fur - brindle, but also Merle splotched at the same time. All of it is topped off with an adorable nubby tail! She’s one of the most unique-looking dogs foster mom has seen! Delilah has a unique personality to go right along with her unique looks. She is a bit scared at first - especially of big, tall people. She may bark or shake when she first meets some people. However, she warms up quick - she was jumping up into foster mom’s lap within minutes of walking into her foster home! Her favorite place to be is in your lap, giving you kisses, or burrowing under the blankets and snuggling against you in bed. But she also has a playful streak - she absolutely loves tug of war and fetch! Delilah gets very vocal when she plays - she growls so much she sounds like she’s revving her engines! But there’s nothing to be scared of, that’s just one of her little quirks! If you’re looking for an adorable, young, small-medium sized dog, who can shower you in so much love that you’ll be excited to get home and see her every day (foster mom certainly is!), then apply to adopt Delilah today!
