Additional Details

– Can be shy and unsure of new situations at first, but is a sweet, well-mannered lady once she opens up!

– Loves attention from her people and likes to stick near people she knows in new situations; likes when you reassure her with kind words and head pats

– Foster family says she walks nicely on a leash and has been catching onto potty training quickly

– LOVES pup cups and other treats

– Foster family says she prefers to have her food softened with a little water

– Has been working on crate training in her foster home and settles well in her crate after a little time

– Does well on car rides, just needs a little help getting in the car

– Came from a situation where they did not get the socialization and exposure to the world that dogs typically get from a young age. Because of this, they may struggle with new situations, may show uncertainty with novel everyday objects, may need help understanding leashes, and will need patience and structure with housetraining.

– Has done best with a “helper” dog when it comes to learning that people can be OK, and we recommend that they go to a home with another dog

– May not do well in a busy home with young children

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.
