My name is Cordelia!

My name is Cordelia (my foster mom calls me Willow) and I made the very long journey from Afghanistan to Minnesota and am SO happy to be here! I am a loving lab mix gal (born 5/15/23) who loves to be around people.  I picked up walking on a leash quickly with the help of the resident dog.  He and I are pals now even though it took a few days to warm up to him.   I sleep in my crate at night in my foster mom's bedroom; as long as I can see her, I settle down quickly and sleep all night.  I only had one accident the first night I landed in MN, but have been totally potty trained since.  Since my foster mom is home on summer break, I am only in my crate a few hours at a time, but I should do ok while my future pawrent is at work.  Shoes and other household items are fun to run around the house with, but I am learning to play with only my dog toys.  I will need patience and training with my new family. 

Foster mom here:  Cordelia (Willow) is a beautiful, lovely, smart girl who is extremely curious about everything.  She loves being outside and would do well in a home with a fenced in yard.  She likes walks but probably wouldn't be a good running partner with all the stopping she likes to do to smell, look, and experience new things outside.  She cowers when she meets kids (I imagine there is some history there) so would do best with slow introductions of children or a home without kids.  She hasn't been around cats but loves meeting other dogs.  She is easy to correct with a firm "NO" and looks to me for direction when she encounters something new (kids, dogs, a turtle crossing the road etc).  She is a gem and will be easily trainable with consistency, patience, and love.  Cordelia and I worked with a professional trainer and that trainer has offered her new family a greatly reduced 90 minute refresher session.  Great opportunity to bond and get started on the right paw!
