Additional Details

– May be shy and timid at first, but warms up with a little time; once she feels comfortable she loves being around people, especially when they pet her or rub her ears

– Sweet and gentle and loves to follow her people around, but after short bursts of energy or walks, she tends to be very chill and enjoys napping throughout the day

– Treat-motivated when it comes to training, but generally prefers human touch to snacks

– Loves blankets, sweaters and being comfortable

– Loves her kennel and uses as her safe space where she can go for quiet time

– Knows sit, touch, shake and kennel, and is working on down

– May pull a bit on a leash, so a harness might be best for walks

– Foster family said she’s not the biggest fan of car rides and will curl into a little ball and put her ears back

– Has been doing well with potty training in her foster home, although her signals when she needs to go out are more subtle; her foster family said she prefers to potty in their backyard vs. on walks; just remember that any dog may need time to get used to a new schedule

– Has been doing great overnight in her kennel and typically settles in quickly, is quiet and will hold it all night in her foster home

– Not a fan of fireworks, thunder or other loud noises

– Really liked the infant in her previous home and would lick his feet to make him laugh

– Had a dog friend in a previous home and the dogs would groom each other, nap together and run around the yard together; overall has done really well with dogs, but may not always want to share her bones or other favorite things with her dog pals, so please plan on managing that in her new home if necessary (dog intro recommended)

– We don’t know her history with cats

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.
