My story

Sookie was found dumped at an old strip mine with her brother as puppies. They were completely feral on intake. Sookie comes to us from Kentucky, and this sweet girl has completely stolen our hearts. She is goofy, loving, incredibly submissive, and one of the sweetest dogs you could ever meet. Sookie has now become one of our dog testers, and she is absolutely perfect for the job! She is wonderful with other dogs and has a natural way of interacting with them that helps us learn so much about their personalities and whether they are comfortable around other dogs. One of Sookie's favorite things to do is get right in another dog's face and give them kisses! She just wants to be everyone's friend! While her enthusiastic greetings can sometimes be a little much, they actually make her a great tester because we can see how another dog responds to a friendly, playful dog who really wants to interact. Sookie is also extremely submissive and gentle. She truly doesn't have an aggressive bone in her body. She's goofy, happy, social, and just wants to love everyone she meets. We are so lucky to have Sookie helping other dogs along their journey. She may have come from the streets, but she has found such an important purpose here - helping us understand which dogs are ready to make a new four-legged friend. Sookie is proof that sometimes the goofiest dogs have the biggest hearts. Good with women: yes Good with men: yes Good with kids: yes Good with other dogs: yes Good with cats: yes House trained: in progress Crate trained: in progress Energy level: med/high Can be handled/touched: yes Barker: no Flight risk: no, but extra caution should always be taken in the beginning Food aggressive: no Current food: pedigree Walks on leash: yes Leash reactive to people or dogs: no Rides well in car: yes Destructive: no Needs a home with a yard: yes Needs a home with another dog: not a requirement but loves other dogs Can live in an apartment: not recommended Please visit our website niagaradogrescue.com to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Sookie (20260809-07), please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
