For Adopt a Pet and the PEDIGREE® brand, October is all about finding homes for dogs in shelters. Adopt this month for a PEDIGREE® Wet Food Pouch and a chance to win a Homecoming-style photo shoot and shelter donation.
Basalt SAPA-A-68826, (DOB 1/16/2022), 45 lb, shiny jet-black fur gently interrupted by a striking white marking on her chest. Here's what her foster had to say about her!
She's a loving dog and places her head on my lap or snuggles next to me while I am on the sofa or bed. Playful and tosses, fetches or chews on her toys and is middle of the road energetic dog. She is intelligent, resourceful and reached her comfort zone in our home within a week. She does follow me from room to room and stays close to me most of the time.
She is calm when inside, sleeping, playing with her toys, or watching squirrels and birds through door or window. Basalt turns on her back to receive belly rubs and stands still for lower back rubs and offers her paw for handshakes.
She lives parallel lives with my senior, 16 lb, Rat Terrier, Daisy, with exceptions when she is occasionally playful with temperamental Daisy.
She prefers being indoors and remains outside for longer periods of time to relieve herself, explore or chase squirrels. She allows her paws to be cleaned once inside. She does use training pads while I am away from home.
Basalt is extremely comfortable in vehicles, jumps into my car without hesitation and rides calmly and with minimal movement between front and back seat areas. She usually settles in the passenger seat or stands from the back area onto the console during rides.
She responds to correction though she occasionally jumps up when excited. She knows some commands and responds to: down; up; no; over here (with hand motions); inside?, outside?, this way; eat?, let's go to bed. She responds well to being on a leash attached to a harness.
Basalt would be most comfortable being allowed to be inside most of the time, with perhaps another dog because she interactively plays with another dog and me, and has not been around children or cats during her foster time with me.
