My story

Good with men: Yes. Crate trained/in process of: Yes, she is crate trained & willingly uses her crate. Doggy door trained: In the process! She knows how to let herself inside, but hasn’t quite gotten the hang of switching directions Leash trained: No Knows any tricks: She has mastered basic commands, including recall, sit, & stay. Working through laying down and waiting. Likes: She adores other dogs, all people, and kids. She loves to play, especially with rope toys. She is frequently getting the zoomies. She enjoys playing in the hose and chasing her foster siblings around the yard. She plays very kind and gentle. She is also incredibly submissive without being fearful. Dislikes: She doesn’t prefer bath time, although she tolerates it well! There is not much she dislikes. The car she’s doesn’t love, but she is regardless very well behaved. Otherwise, she is very well desensitized to loud sounds, new sights/textures, and she has confidence in foreign situations. Must haves: An active family, ideally one with young children and another dog. She would thrive in this situation! Otherwise, she is a very flexible dog and could do okay as an only pet. Apartment dog: She should have a yard. She will be a large breed and she will be active, requiring space to play. Fun facts: She is incredibly smart! She is also very food motivated, so training her is a breeze! She does not bark and cries very minimally, mostly just when she has to go outside. She sleeps through the night and is truly just the best puppy out there! She will be someone’s “everything dog.” She would love to lay by someone working from home while also being amazing out in public on a brewery patio. She will be a very easy dog for someone and would be okay a family with less dog experience. Ideal home: A young, active family with another gentle dog that will provide her company. She would do amazing and absolutely thrive alongside young children. She needs to be in a home with a yard. Otherwise, she should be an easy placement!
