---
- Can be shy around new people and prefers to approach people at her pace and make friends as she feels comfortable; once she is your buddy, she likes being near you and giving kisses
- Loves stuffies, tug ropes, plastic bottles, and treats
- Enjoys going on walks and does well on a leash
- Rides well in the car and will either look out the window or nap in the back seat
- Values her personal space, and it's important to her to feel safe within her space, so quick approaches and feeling pressure to interact are not her cup of tea; positive reinforcement will be key to relationship-building and helping her feel comfortable
- Knows sit, paw, speak and up
- Looking for a teens-and-up home right now to set her up for success
- Has lived with dogs and cats; prefers dogs who are respectful of her space and may enjoy a like-minded dog friend after a slow introduction (dog intro recommended)
- May have allergies (more info at ARL)
- All adoptable dogs and puppies are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and DA2PPV as appropriate for their age)
- The ARL's shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most dogs we are only guessing at primary breed. We get to know each dog as an individual and do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not breed label.
