Firefly

My story

Hi there, I’m Firefly!I`m a fun boy with a charming personality! I`m great at fetch and will stay in a down position, waiting patiently, until you throw the ball for me to expertly chase and return back to you. I`m so smart and agile - when I see a `wet floor` sign in the hallway, I naturally jump over it without even being asked! I can be vocal and bark at things but I just tell the humans that I`m doing my heeler job! When I make human friends, I do like to jump up and lick your face! I can be a lot when meeting new dogs by barking at them, but as long as they aren`t turned off by my loud `hello`, I enjoy playing with other dogs! I am a lap dog so I hope that you are comfortable with 73 lbs in your lap!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES…CHILDREN: I would do best in an adult-only home, but could potentially live with some respectful teenagers.OTHER DOGS: Potentially, while I enjoy playing with other dogs, I don`t love sharing them with my humans, so if I were to live with a dog in the home, it would have to be a particular, easy-going pooch; otherwise, I could have dog friends outside the home.CATS: No, given my prey drive.FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: Someone with dog and or herding breed experience would be most ideal.FENCED-IN YARD: Required, to help meet energy needs. Rural, un-fenced, would also be excellent!HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: Any with a yard.SOMEONE HOME MOST OF THE DAY: Not necessarily.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME…ACTIVITY LEVEL: High.HOUSE-TRAINED: Yes.If you are interested in adopting me, please click the `Adopt Me` button to apply!FOSTER ME! I`m excited to be selected as part of the Paisley Project and I`m looking for a foster home! If your home environment matches what I`m looking for based on the information above, please consider applying to foster me. The Paisley Project aims to match selected, long-stay animals at GHS with fosters that can provide a home that gradually introduces them to the everyday experiences of life as a pet.
