Twila is a loving girl who has been spoiled by the love of humans. She adores humans and other dogs. She is very playful and interested in toys too. Twila thrives on affection and will come sit next to you for pets. At home she is quiet, and calm (if you are calm), but can be playful and excited if you are up for it. She has made the rare bark at the landscaper, but easily corrected with a no. She has not barked at the Amazon delivery driver. She enjoys going on walks, has a tendency to pull, but easily corrected with some training tricks. We would recommend a few training classes with a certified trainer to get Twila to be her best self. Twila is well-behaved, calm on car rides, does not beg much, and sleeps through the night in her crate with no accidents. She would rather sleep in your bed, but crating Twila will help when you have to go to work and she can self-soothe while she misses you. First entering her crate she may whine, but a correction of "No" and she begins the process of relaxation. Twila has been so loved by humans she does not know how to love her own company. Crating Twila will help her learn to enjoy her own quiet time, relaxing in her personal safe space. Twila is still a young dog and needs exercise to help her relax and burn energy. Twila is still working on her potty training and hasn't quite picked it up yet. You'd need to give her time to adjust to the sounds outside, then a moment to find a bush (to go behind) and do her business. She will need a patient owner to help her become a pro at going quicker. Twila is familiar with humans and is comfortable being handled. She would be okay around respectful children who do not exceed her energy level and are mindful of putting their hands in her face. She has been very gentle toward her current foster family's 5 senior chihuahuas. Twila was found as a stray with no microchip and went unclaimed at the shelter. In the shelter she was quiet and nervous, but always interested in playing with other dogs. With training and crating, Twila can be left at home for longer periods of time. Currently, her foster family works from home and tries to emulate being crated 4 - 6 hours while alone at home. In the evening she sleeps in her crate all night. Twila is eager to please her own human family. Could you see yourself being loved by her, unconditionally? She is spayed, microchipped and current on vaccines. Her adoption fee is $300. All Second Chance Dog Rescue dogs are spayed/neutered, are up to date on vaccines and have microchips prior to adoption. Adoption fees vary depending on age of dog. Fees help Second Chance Dog Rescue cover spay/neuter costs, vaccinations, medical treatments, food and supplies. Please go to www.secondchancedogrescue.org and complete an application today! All dogs live in private foster homes until they are adopted. July 26, 2024, 3:42 pm
