My story

From the moment I laid eyes on her, I fell in love. She is so sweet and snuggly. Our normal daily routine - she sleeps in bed with me however she does fine in a crate (after about 10 minutes of grumbling). She typically sleeps until I do, however there are sometimes I wake up to some gentle puppy kisses if she really needs to go outside. She is a playful pittie pup, loves to play tug of war, anything she can chew on and sometimes good ole playing fetch. We try to get a couple good playtime sessions per day.   She is housetrained, however figuring out her bathroom schedule has been challenging. She's very particular as to where she goes. I've gotten in the habit of letting her out every 2-3 hours, just in the yard to do her business (on a tie out, we do not have a fenced in yard). We also get in a good 30-45 minute walk per day. I've let her off leash in a controlled area and she did very well, did not take off and always made sure she could see me.    Esme LOVES to be near her humans. Always snuggling, taking naps in odd positions and all the cute things you love with pittie puppies. She's been good with other people, children and dogs. She's only been around one cat, and the cat ran and hid, however with her gentle nature, I assume she will do well. Now, she IS a 10 month old pup, so needless to say she can be mischievous, however she takes direction/correction very well. Its mostly what is okay to chew on and what is not. However I wanted to note, the only 'human' thing she has chewed on is shoes/slippers, she does not munch on furniture or any decor.    Esme would be a great addition to any family, great with kids and very playful, or with another furry friend, she's a great all around pup. Anywhere I've taken her, everyone falls in love.      If you have previously applied with us please email adoptionatmars@gmail.com to reactivate your application with new interest.All fees are subject to MN sales tax and a processing fee at the time of adoption.
