Reagan will lay on her bed and sneak over in the middle of the night to cuddle. 🛋️ 💤. In the morning, she’ll be sure you can hear her loud yawn indicating she’s ready to start the day! ☀️ Cooking for the family? She’ll be your sous-chef 👩‍🍳. She will even wash the dishes for you 👅. Dinner time? You’ll surely find her under the table waiting to clean up any crumbs dropped by the family members. As her foster mom says, when there’s food, there’s Reagan 😆. She will do just about anything with you. Reagan is a sweet, fun little lady looking for someone who can continue to show her what love is. She has come a long way since being in rescue. She absolutely adores her family when given the chance. She does fantastic with other dogs and does not mind cats. She would love a k9 sidekick to hangout with. 🐕🐾Reagan is potty trained and crate trained. She loves to run, run, run, so she would love a physical fenced in yard to run in. Gotta burn off some of that fat being a sous-chef 😆. Reagan is spayed and updated on all vetting. She is more than ready for her adoptive home now!

Details

Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

I am Trudy, a 12 yr old, 11 pound terrier mix. I am a very shy dog, so it takes a while for me to come out of my shell. I came from a hoarding situation and had really bad fleas, but my skin and fur have healed up quite nicely. I am potty trained and crate trained.I am extremely hard of hearing, but I have learned hand signals. I love to be cuddled once I get used to you. I would do better in a house with calm dogs and people - a lot of ruckus makes me nervous, so I would like a quieter home. I'm not a huge fan of smaller kids, so maybe some older kids would be ok with me. I also do well with cats. I am spayed, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, on heartworm prevention, and microchipped. If you want a snuggle buddy and a couch potato, I'm your gal. If you are interested in adopting Trudy, please visit our website at www.pawsofadamscounty.com and submit an adoption application. When applying, please answer each question completely and honestly. Only complete applications will be considered. Thank you for considering adopting!https://www.pawsofadamscounty.com/adoption-foster-appwww.pawsofadamscounty.com
