My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

FOSTERED IN: Chicago, IL 60619
ESTIMATED DOB: 2015
WEIGHT: 21lbs
KIDS: Older
DOGS: Yes
CATS: Some

HISTORY:
Reese came to us from an animal control facility. She was surrendered because her owner had too many animals.

ABOUT:
Reese’s foster mom describes her as smart, sweet, adaptable, laid back, and a little stubborn. She enjoys attention, but isn’t demanding of it. Her foster thinks she might get more into snuggling an attention if there were not other animals around. Reese is excellent with the other dogs, she just might be a bit more interested in attention if she didn’t have to wait in line. Reese’s foster said she is a very good girl who adapted to the routine of her foster home very quickly and just goes with the flow.

Reese is not very vocal. She doesn’t bark at the neighbors nor whine to get your attention. Reese is not crated when her foster is not home, but she is gated into a certain room of the home. She does just fine until her foster mom returns.

Reese will ask to go outside with a little bark and throwing her head back and forth, but if you aren’t speedy enough she will have an accident. She has also used the available pads a few times. In general, she loves to spend time outside on nice days, but absolutely hates the rain. Reese does well on leash and is good in the car.

Reese is being fostered with a cat, but she occasionally likes to run and bark at her, so she would do best with confident cats. Reese is being fostered with other small dogs and gets along very well with everyone, although she mostly chooses to keep to herself. She does prefer that they not interfere with her dining experience, but who doesn’t! Unfortunately Reese doesn’t extend the same courtesy to her friend and will happily help herself to their food if they aren’t fast enough. Reese is a sweet girl, but she got overwhelmed at the vet and didn’t want to be monkeyed with too much, so we think a home with older children will be more appropriate for her.

When Reese came to us she was on Royal Canin Urinary SO food due to urinary tract infections she had at animal control. Our vet is not certain she needs to remain on this food, but we have opted to leave her on it for the time being so we don’t introduce any urinary issues while she is looking for her forever home. An adopter can discuss the possibility of transitioning her to an over-the-counter urinary care food with their vet.
