Sammy

Rat Terrier Corgi

Female, Adult
Ames, IA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Sammy (9 yrs, 13 lbs) is a sweet companion who will thrive in a quiet home with outdoor space and no children. We are moving internationally in June and sadly won't be able to bring her along. Sammy does well with other dogs in the home; she grew up around an older dog, and frequently stays with family who have a dog. Sammy is very smart, trainable, loves to play, and enjoys walks. On a nice day, she likes to spend hours out in the yard. She is currently on daily medication support to manage anxiety, which has helped minimize barking, reactivity to sudden noises, and general stress. On a day-to-day basis she is happy and engaged, but vet visits and stressful situations may require support (e.g. extra anxiety medication). Sammy completed a reward-based behavior modification package with Plucky Paws at our home and did very well. She made a lot of progress in her uneasiness with strangers by using training games and her food guarding was reduced by using enrichment feeding at mealtimes.
