Here's what the humans have to say about me:
09/11/24 14:05 Foster reports: During the weekend we took a trip to downtown Sunnyvale and practiced meeting new friends. On the way over, Chiquita was a great car passenger, content to just look outside the window or calmly lie down. In town she did wonderfully, walking well next to me on the sidewalk, investigating all the exciting new sights and smells, and waiting patiently at crosswalks. We met up with a couple new humans and a dog as practice. With a slow introduction, letting Chiquita approach as she felt comfortable and with lots of treats for encouragement, she quickly recognized both humans and dog as friends. Chiquita loves her treats, whether it’s a dog treat, fruit, or cheese - this sweet girl is not a picky eater. Bring her a treat, or a handful, and she’ll happily become your friend too!
06/19/24 12:43 Foster Reports: Chiquita has been enjoying the warm weather with visits to the park and long walks around the neighborhood. She walks well on a leash and is very good about checking in with me often. We have been working on her interest in other people and dogs on walks. She’s highly food motivated and has been doing well with redirection. She now walks easily past humans and is showing good progress with dogs. I am always impressed with how quickly she learns new things. Chiquita does have a prey drive with a high interest in squirrels and cats, so she would probably do best in a home without cats. She loves to chew on toys and is eager to play with her foster sibling. I believe she could do well as an only dog or with a dog sibling to run around with. Chiquita is such a sweet soul and the ultimate cuddle bug who loves lots of snuggles and belly rubs. If you’re looking for a loyal and loving companion who’s eager to learn, she’s your girl!
