My name is
Ivy Grandma Great!

UPDATE 4/10/24 Ivy was adopted and we told the adopters every single bad thing we could and tried to prepare them for the creature that is Ivy.  They promised they could handle her.  Ivy of course was returned and was ecstatic to be back.  She is now a sanctuary pet and will live out the rest of her days living every dog's dream.  Welcome home Ivy.  

 

Please read EVERYTHING below if you are interested in this dog!  We are getting so many applications for Ivy and we love this girl and she is a blast to live with, but she is not for everyone.  We've received applications for her from humans that work full time and there is no other dog and another where the humans wanted a dog to alert them if someone comes to the door.....Please read as we want Ivy happy and we want you happy.

 

Ivy was born around October 15, 2019 and weighs about 17 pounds. Ivy came in with 6 puppies that were only days old.  Ivy was an incredibly attentive mother and her pups are now grown.  It's Ivy's turn to live the pampered life!   Ivy is ADORABLE!  She loves to cuddle in the evening when the day is done, but during the day she is playing with the other dogs, running, racing, having a ball and she is very agile!  We found her balancing on the bottom rungs of the kitchen stool the other day - just for fun.  Ivy is leash trained and loves her daily walks, she’s so curious about everything outside! She makes us laugh every day! Ivy is good with other dogs and with kids and rides well in the car.  Ivy was introduced to a cat the other day and she didn't pay any attention to it. She also loves to snuggle!

UPDATE FROM FOSTER MOM: Ivy is very affectionate - she loves people very quickly. She is very happy to cuddle up with you at night in your favorite spot. She would like someone that is home most of the time. Ivy is deaf - you can vacuum right next to her and she doesn’t move. She will lay in a dog bed in whatever room you are in.  She does not do well in a crate, while you are not home.  She does do well in a crate in the car though. She is a climber and very clever.  A home with a lot of fine antiques would not be the best fit for her.  And it's not unusual for us to find her on the kitchen counter or table or jumping in your micro-green planter.  We know that she enjoys quiche and if that is gone the golumpki is fair game - you will not be able to leave food unattended.  While slowly warming 1 1/2 enchilada with a side of Spanish rice on the stove one evening it all simply disappeared!   Ivy!!!   Oh that's right, can't yell at her - she's deaf!  And she adores helping you with your paperwork whether it's shuffling paper or knocking your laptop on the floor.  She would like a spot where she can look out the window - maybe she is part cat??  A wood fenced (or solid vinyl) yard would be good for her because we are pretty sure she can climb a chain link.  Ivy is a strong and fearless swimmer - she may be small in size but NOT personality!
