My story

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

Meet Midnight! Gorgeous Midnight was picked up as a stray in March in Carlinville. Although her picture was seen by over 9500 people, no one claimed her!! To understand her better, we sent her with a trainer for a couple of days, and here's what she said:
"Midnight is a high-energy dog who is anxious to please. She listens well and will sit on command without a treat, although she is very food motivated! This girl has a high prey drive and will play fetch for at least 10 minutes without getting tired. Midnight will be an EXCELLENT dog for any type of dog sport: such as fly ball, agility, nose work, etc. She would ALSO be an amazing WORKING DOG, such as a herding dog, drug dog or search and rescue dog. Her enthusiasm, athletic abilities and smaller size makes her a perfect working dog. PLUS, she rides very well in the car--surprisingly relaxed and at ease. Midnight had separation anxiety if left totally alone. BUT, the next day, in the company of our other calm dog, she was totally at ease when we left them both in a room and didn't damage anything. So, another dog in the household will be helpful to Midnight. It appears that Midnight had not had a lot of experience in living in a home, so she needs to learn manners. She is very smart!! With consistent training and an outlet to exercise, Midnight will be a loving companion. Her energy just needs to be funneled in the correct way." 🐾🐾 Midnight has been with kids and infants and was indifferent to them. She has been very outgoing and friendly to all adults she meets. If you are looking for a smart, very active dog that wants to please, learn and play, Midnight is the perfect choice! Did we mention she does well with baths?
