Arizona

My story

Courtesy Post:   Hi, my name is Arizona and I arrived at Little Buckets Farm Sanctuary on May 23rd, 2025. I am so grateful to Little Buckets who saved me from having to be taken to a kill shelter when my mom was in a desperate plea mode, having gotten a promotion that was taking her across the USA. My Foster Mom at Little Buckets was told that my mom is a purebred doberman. And my dad is a purebred German Shepherd. I'm only 9 months old and my birthday was August 26 of last year.   I am an adorable, fun, sweet girl. I am all up-to-date on vaccines. I'm heartworm, negative & started on preventative, my poop was just tested and was negative and I just got spayed and I recovered great so I am all ready for my new forever home. I am even microchipped now.    Now that I am all ready for my new forever family, I would absolutely love to find a family with a fenced in yard because I really, really, really like to run. I probably need a 5 foot fence just in case. I will need lots of exercise not only because I'm a puppy but because I'm a German Shepherd Doberman mix and I will need lots of exercise.. I do wear out and love belly rubs and snuggling too.  I know I would be a great running or hiking partner. I love playing fetch and I bet I could learn frisbee too. I'm super smart if I don't say so myself and I love to learn. I already have the basics of sit shake and lay down. I still need a little work but I know I can get it. I'm also working on wait and I know I could learn lots more tricks if somebody was willing to just show me the ropes. I walk on the leash and just need a little work on not pulling. My Foster mom recommends no young kids as I can jump on them. I haven't been around cats but here at Little Buckets I have seen them and I am very curious as to what they are and I'll admit I might chase them so I am thinking I might be best to not have any cat friends. In terms of having dog friends,  I do bark initially at other dogs when I see them but give me a minute to calm down and I will be good with dog friends as long as someone is willing to properly introduce me. A puppy socialization class would be recommended so that I can learn a few more manners. A new family who is breed savvy is a plus. I will need a dog friend that is willing to show me how to act around each other and I will need some work on resource guarding. I don't do it all the time so I know I can learn not to have to worry about guarding stuff. Probably medium to large dog friends would be best.  I weigh 45 lbs and I have a great smile. I also have amazing fun ears that sure make me even more adorable. I will be the most loyal friend. I will have your back as I know you will have mine. I will pose for you too as I love my picture taken and my Foster mom thinks I am a dog model already. I hope you will consider meeting me. I will win your heart over I know. My Foster mom is okay with out of state adoptions if you are the perfect family for me.
