My story

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

Please contact foster at suzanne4tune@gmail.com

Positive:
Sweet and Affectionate- will give you kisses if you let her
Crate and House trained- no accidents, does not whine or bark when put in her crate
Playful- will chase and jump for the tennis ball, also loves tug of war
Visitors- does not bark at visitors, warms up to them quickly
Children- very good with children- plays with them and snuggles them
Food- is not motivated by food for leash training. Eats 2x per day (morning and evening) Notices when people are cooking or eating, but does not beg

She is truly the perfect dog when inside our home!
She walks well on a leash, some pulling when she sees other dogs.
Positive interaction with a slow intro to another dog. Both dogs had so much fun running and playing in a fenced in backyard.
Shedding is very minimal

Negative:
Gets very overwhelmed when taken outside (like she is on high alert), stimulated by seeing people and other animals.
She can walk on a leash with a harness, but seems aggressive when other dogs walk by. Her tail is wagging and she tries to bark (but is very hoarse) and lunges at them to the point of almost dragging us. We have not let her get close to them since we cannot tell if she wants to love on them or hurt them.
She pulls when on the leash, but seems to be getting better each day. Sometimes my husband will run with her. She can run a 6 minute mile.
