Garland

My story

Garland came to us through an Animal Control Officer who had picked her up as a stray, so we don`t know anything about her prior life, but while she`s been here with us, we`ve learned a lot about this sweet girl.She had a lot of changes by the time she got to us, but she settled in nicely, getting lots of attention and exercise. She can be a strong puller, but has learned to walk nicely on leash with a front-clip harness. Garland is food motivated, and eager to please, so she`s doing well with her basic training. She loves hanging out in our offices with staff, wandering from person to person, and snoozing on dog beds or comfy chairs. She enjoys car rides, and is happy to watch the world go by out the window, or take a nap on the back seat. She`s had a couple overnights with staff, and has been a very easy-keeper in the home!When she first arrived, Garland showed signs of not wanting other dogs in her life, so we`ve worked at her pace to find dogs she`s comfortable with, and she has a couple friends here she likes to wrestle with, and play bitey-face. It might be possible for Garland to live with another dog who she really likes, or she might do best as an only dog in the home, with a friend or two outside the home, that she gets to know through slow, controlled introductions. She is not a dog who is happy to greet other dogs she sees on a walk. We do not know how she feels about cats. She is doing great now about not jumping to greet, and we feel she will do well with children.She would like an active lifestyle, with some fun adventures and exercise, and stimulating brain games, so then she can snuggle on the couch for a good nap. A consultation with our Behavior Specialist is included in Garland`s $350.00 adoption fee. Please call the Adoption Center at 802-476-3811, or email info@centralvermonthumane.org, to schedule a time to talk to an adoption counselor about her, and to determine if you should meet Garland.
