Rhyme

My story

My foster writes: Rhyme is a very sweet and affectionate girl. She loves to cuddle with people on the couch and will fall asleep right next to you. Amazingly, she is fully housebroken, she lies down and waits patiently while we are having a meal at a table. She can walk with a loose leash most of the time and doesn't chase birds/squirrels. She's still learning how to communicate with other dogs. She is very social with people (good with our teen child) and enjoys long walks and lots of exercise. If you are looking for a younger dog with drive outdoors and a cuddly homey personality, Rhyme could be a perfect fit for you!🎶 Meet Rhyme! 🎶Owner Surrender - Family Could No Longer Provide CareRhyme is a joyful 2-year-old mixed breed with a spring in her step and a sparkle in her eyes! Surrendered due to a growing family and limited resources, Rhyme is looking for a new home that can keep up with her zest for life and offer the structure she craves. She's 44 pounds of fun, affection, and high-energy charm.🏡 My Ideal HomeRhyme would thrive with an active adopter who can give her plenty of mental and physical enrichment. She'd love a home that offers daily walks, training games, and cuddle time on the couch. Because she's still learning some manners, a home without very young children is best.👶 Good with Kids?Rhyme previously lived with a toddler and did well, but due to her jumpy and exuberant nature, we recommend a home with no children under 5. Older kids who can respect her space and help with training may be a great fit.🐕 Good with Other Dogs?Rhyme has been playful with familiar dogs but has shown some reactivity-like hard barking and growling-toward unfamiliar dogs, especially small ones. She may do best as the only dog or with a tolerant, confident canine sibling after a slow intro. No dog parks for this girl!🦮 Leash MannersShe's a strong girl with places to be! Rhyme pulls on leash and may bark at small animals or dogs, so we recommend a front-clip harness and continued positive reinforcement training. She's very food motivated and eager to learn.🩺 Overall HealthRhyme is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and has been treated for kennel cough. She's in good health and ready to find her forever family.📊 Behavior Determination: Level 2Rhyme is social, affectionate, and energetic. She'll benefit from ongoing training to help with impulse control and reactivity. She's highly treat motivated and has a soft, wiggly side once she knows you.🎉 One Fun FactRhyme's favorite thing? Head rubs on a walk. She'll stop mid-stride just to lean in and soak up the love.💸 Adoption Fee: $75Includes spay surgery, vaccinations, and microchip.Rhyme is ready to bring joy, energy, and a whole lot of love to your life.
