KIDS: Yes
DOGS: Yes

HISTORY:
Twix was a stray that came to us from a Chicago shelter.

ABOUT:
Twix is such a friendly girl who doesn’t know a stranger. Everyone she meets is an immediate friend. Her foster describes her as sweet, calm, patient, gentle, easy and… perfect!

Twix is an affectionate girl, but is not pushy or needy for attention. She will just quietly follow you around to always be ready for pets or attention when you have a few minutes to spare. She also enjoys sleeping in bed with her foster parents.

Twix is generally very quiet. She does not even join in when the other dogs bark, with one exception - she does not like to be crated. She will scream and cry until she is let out. This includes on car rides - so she might do best with a harness and seatbelt. Her fosters haven’t found this to be a problem because she is completely trustworthy in the house. She just curls up on the couch for naps until they return home.

Twix enjoys walks and is very good on leash. She doesn’t react to anything. She is also very good at waiting to go outside to go potty.

Twix briefly met two children, and she enjoyed their pets and attention, so she will likely do well with calm, gentle children. Twix is being fostered with 2 cats. She does great with the cat who is confident and indifferent, but is more interested in the cat who is more skittish and prone to running. She will likely do well with cats who are confident and can hold their own around dogs. Twix is being fostered with other small dogs and she loves to be around them. They don’t play together but they do enjoy smelling smells and taking naps together.

Twix had two benign masses removed when she was spayed and had her teeth cleaned and is now ready to find her forever family.
If you think this incredibly sweet, easy girl is a good fit - you can find our adoption application on our website: www.luluslockerrescue.org.
