My personality

My story

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

Happy loves to be snuggled in her bed with a toy! She is estimated to be about a year old and weighs 36 pounds.

Happy is a friendly, playful, and energetic pup who loves to make new friends!! She is curious, outgoing and always eager to learn and explore. She also likes to be close to you, hoping for a little love, oh, she just can’t wait for her family to find her. Happy does have some observed resource guarding, she is catching on quickly to her training and to “wait at bowl”. Her adopter will need to continue to work on her getting used to people around her food bowl. Happy is very responsive to training and wants to please you. She is still very young, so she'll need an active forever home that can provide her with the love, care, and attention that she needs to grow into a wonderful adult dog. A children in the home would need to be 13 years old or older.

**One of our lovely volunteers is taking Happy to a weekly Basic Fundamentals Class to work on all kinds of cool things, but our goal will be to minimize her mouthiness over the next few weeks. You can see a couple of her cute pictures from class, she looks so proud in one of them in her nice red harness, it is too adorable. What a great update we have on how she is doing:
Happy did so well in class last night, I was really proud of her. She does really well with command strings like place-sit-stay or sit-touch-touch, come-lets-go-this-way, etc. Working her brain, giving her toys to chase and thrash, and disengaging attention at any sign of mouthiness, she even walked at a perfect heel form for a bit by her choice. She’s really smart. She was wonderful meeting all the people and dogs. There were a couple reactive dogs in class and Happy only barked when they did. Happy is such a wonderful dog.**

If there is another nice doggy sibling in the home, Happy would love to meet them. She has a loose, friendly “all in” approach with other dogs.

If you are interested in Happy and are at least 21 years old, please come to our kennel during business hours, make an appointment, or fill out an application at k9stray.com and an adoption counselor will be in touch. We look forward to helping you find your new best friend!

*Please check your lease agreements for breed/weight restrictions prior to applying. We also do not do cat testing, so we do not know how a dog will do with cats. Not all dogs are available to go home on the same day you first meet.*
