My story

Dawn is a wonderful dog who is so ready to be in a loving home (Hopefully with an active family or person!) ! Here are just a few words about how awesome she is from a volunteer:We had a very enjoyable time with Dawn this morning, and want to provide some information about walking with her off campus.We walked for about 60 minutes on trails at Meadowside Nature Center, and then walked at Needwood Park for about 30 minutes, with another 30 minutes of sitting on the grass and playing in the shade of a tree.Carrier: Dawn immediately recognized the carrier in the back of the car and was enthusiastic about jumping up into the back of the car and going. She traveled very well in the carrier - she was calm and quiet.Walking: For the first 30 to 45 minutes, Dawn kept a steady pull on the leash, she was excited to be out and about. After this time, it seems she had burned off enough energy that the leash was slack almost half the time, and she was pleasant to walk with.Around Dogs: We saw about 6 dogs at varying distances. When dogs passed nearby, Dawn acted like she wanted to play/greet, but she did not bark or growl. Dawn enjoys playgroups at the shelter. Around People: Initially, Dawn was very well-mannered and slightly shy, but over time she became relaxed, affectionate, and playful. At Needwood, families were setting up for a party nearby, but Dawn was more interested in playing with us.We learned that Dawn does respond to soft, smelly treats (pup-er-oni), and that she understands “sit”. After a good walk (having burned off a little energy), I feel like she would be very trainable. She seemed to really enjoy the Kong toy and it was a great distraction when she became excited. We have some fun videos of her playing with the Kong.Dawn is a very sweet dog. We had a fun dog-venture with her today.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt DAWN, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
