My story

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

Contact the foster at, charlesehash@gmail.com

- Recommended to be the only pet in the home, but has had positive interactions with dogs with the same energy level
- High barrier reactivity with other dogs (ie. fence, etc), fine in public but can still get excited
- Shy at first, but quick to warm up especially hanging out outside.
- Walks well for the most part, but will try to bolt or pull on occasion
- Generally not mouthy
- Jumpy when excited
- “Sits” for treats and took them gently
- She enjoys exploring the play yard and will check in frequently
- She enjoys being close to her people
- Generally quiet and not a barker. Does not discriminate against the mail carrier.
- May whine a bit when left alone
- Crate trained now, but has previously broken out of one before by pushing at the door
- Still working on potty training
- Prefers chew toys. Doesn`t really play with toys unless she is playing with other dogs
