Story
Good with: Dogs Not tested with: kids House trained: Mostly with an occasional accident Energy level: Low Noise level: Super quiet My foster guardian says: My favorite thing about Tovah (Karen) is how sweet and gentle she is! Likes: walks, napping, eating cheese, looking at herself in the mirror I know what youre thinking. Karen? Really?! Yes, technically, that was once my name at the shelter, but my foster (and everybody else!) calls me Tovah! Tovah means good and thats the best word to describe me! I am the goodest girl to ever good! My foster says that shes never met a more well-behaved, laid-back pup! I had a rough start to life, and thats left me a little unsure about trusting people. Im starting to learn that people give pets and snuggles, and treats, and that its okay to be myself around them! Im coming out of my shell more and more everyday! When I first moved to D.C., I was pretty nervous, but now I wag my tail lots, and am even starting to play with toys! Im especially at ease when Im hanging out with one of my doggy friends. I love to play and cuddle and run and chase with all my puppy BFFs! Id love to have another dog friend in my future home, though Im okay being an only child too! My foster would like to say that for as much as I might look perpetually worried and a bit depressed, its not true! Its just my big hound dog eyes! Im actually a happy girl overall, and Im amazingly confident and calm, considering everything Ive been through. Even though I havent lived in the city long, Ive already mostly adjusted to the noise and bustle. As long as Im walking right next to my foster, I trust that Ill be safe! Ive also adapted to living in an apartment really easily. Automatic doors and elevators dont phase me! Now, rumors have been flying that I dont know any commands and may not be the brightest bulb on the tree. Ahem. Im street smart, not book smart! I may not know any flashy tricks, but Im super well trained! I pick up on routines really quickly, and Im also great with directions! I know exactly how to get back to our house when were out on a walk, and I know what door to stop at when we visit friends in their apartment. I stop at streetlights, Im amazing in my crate, I never bark inside the house, and I dont jump, or counter surf, or chew. I also get along with every other dog Ive met! In addition to being so super easy to take care of, I also have a couple of pretty funny quirks. One of them is that I love to look in the mirror! I will spend hours gazing at my reflection, and pondering my beauty and existence. When Im not preening, I enjoy walks of any distance, and Ill tag along on car rides and hiking adventures too! Im also a great patio buddy. I love sitting under the table while my foster is getting food or drinks with friends. Whenever I lay down, I make sure to politely cross my paws. Could I be cuter?? I would be the perfect puppy for someone who works in an office, because Im totally content to spend 9-10 hours at a time sleeping in my crate. Its cozy and secure in there, and I have my blankets and my toys and my bully sticks, so what more could I want? Im as quiet as a mouse overnight in my crate too! If you want a dog who will let you sleep in, Im your girl! Ill also add that if youre looking for a champion couch cuddler, I can check that box too! See, Im not so much of Karen, right? If I do say so myself, Id be a catch for any family! If youre looking for the most gentle, loyal, loving pup, Im your girl! Im really looking forward to finding my forever family, so apply to adopt me today!
