My story

Libby (4 years old, 11 pounds)  has a warm, affectionate, and loyal personality. She’s a playful social butterfly, always eager to make new friends—human or canine. Her enthusiasm for life makes her the kind of dog who brings energy and joy wherever she goes, always ready for a game of chase or tug-of-war. Despite her playful side, Libby is also a devoted cuddle bug. She thrives on affection, happily curling up next to her favorite person whenever given the chance. Whether snuggling on the couch, resting her head on your lap, or leaning against you for comfort, she’s always seeking connection. Libby's loyal and shadow-like nature means she follows her favorite person everywhere, watching them closely as if she were their little guardian. Whether you’re walking from room to room or heading out for an adventure, she’s right there, wagging her tail, ready to be by your side. She’s the perfect mix of fun-loving, affectionate, and loyal, making her an irresistible companion who brings laughter, warmth, and love into every moment. Energy Level?  Medium- she's playful and enjoys long walks but loves downtime.  House trained?  Partially. She will go potty outside when taken out but hasn't gone potty on walks and has had a few accidents while adjusting to her foster home. Describe how they are on leash?  She's a fast walker! She was a little shy at first, walking behind me, but has slowly become more confident and loves walking with the resident dog, who she is happy to allow to lead.  Describe how they are with other dogs?  She's very excited to see other dogs and is very friendly and playful.  Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they?  She is long with another dog and gets along with him. At times, she lets him know her boundaries but nothing overly aggressive.  Commands they know?  No. Off. Come. Maybe sit.  What are their favorite things?  Treats. Kissing her favorite people.  What do they need to work on?  Potty training, jumping on tables, and confidence—not following to every room.  How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone?  Only for a few hours so far, but she was good. She is also okay in a crate. Where do they sleep?  She sleeps in her crate (she seems to like it) and will join us in bed towards the morning.  What is their ideal home?  In a perfect world, one family member would be a remote worker or not leave the house as often, although she doesn't have signs of separation anxiety. She would do well with grass in a secured yard and another friendly dog. She may also do well with kids as she loves to play and doesn't seem to have any aggression. She needs someone willing to reinforce potty training and give her lots of chew bones since she likes to chew. Someone who loves sweet, soft cuddles and a loyal companion. Our Adoption fee is $325.   For adoption consideration or to meet our dogs , please complete our online application:   www.everypetsdream.org/adopt  and  we will have everything we need to know to call you back and set up an appointment.  Follow us:  Facebook  and  Instagram .
