If you are looking for an easy-peasy couch potato kind of a pup, Tova is your gal!
We don’t often have dogs we can recommend for a low-energy household, so Tova is a rarity in that. Being that she is 6 years old, she is past the puppy phase. This also means you aren’t going to have all your stuff chewed up. ??
When hanging out with her human friends, Tova has a very calm/zen energy and is beloved by volunteers so much that she is often chosen as a Field Trip dog. She walks well on leash and does great going out into the community for a walk, but she doesn’t require a long adventure every day like many other dogs do. Tova knows a couple of basic commands and was potty trained in her previous home. She refuses to go potty in her kennel run at the shelter, so we anticipate that getting onto a potty training schedule in her new home will be a breeze.
Tova has been very gentle with the adult canine handlers at the shelter, and should do ok with dog savvy older kiddos who are aware of appropriate dog handling skills (i.e. don’t touch their eyes, mouth, don’t pull their tail, etc).
Tova has had her share of litters (the last one being fairly recent), so she is used to giving Mom energy when among her fellow canines. Some would call this ‘bossy’. In the playgroup program at MACC, Tova has done best with male dogs as the Mom Energy can be a bit much for other female dogs. She likes to occasionally play, but isn’t a high energy gal with other dogs; if her furever home has another dog, she would do best with a lower-energy friendly male dog. You can see her playgroup videos, here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLS5FLiVr89sr6y5NyW709VQ-45w0rJTT1&si=CXeA5oOpz9bfOUrQ
We are excited for Tova to be done having babies, and just being someone’s baby, instead. Please come meet this diamond in the ruff.
