Here is an update on how Cornelia is doing in foster:
Meet Cornelia! This energetic and intelligent pup is full of personality and cuddles, ready to find a home that can keep up with her active and loving spirit! She thrives on two 30-minute walks a day and backyard playtime, but her love for speedy digging means supervision is a must.

Her health is managed with prescription food, probiotics, and medications for anxiety and occasional digestive issues. While her cycles of diarrhea are improving, she requires a strict food routine and occasional short-term treatment when it flares up. She's also improving in her house manners, with no accidents for five weeks and decreasing incidents of chewing or ripping items.

On leash, she's mostly well-behaved but can occasionally lunge after passing cars, bikes, or runners, so vigilance is key. While she has shown some leash reactivity with certain dogs, she can also calmly ignore others during walks.

This clever girl has already mastered waiting at doors and is eager to keep learning. She's sensitive during medical visits, so a sedative is necessary for her comfort.

With her big heart, smarts, and zest for life, she's looking for a patient and committed family to help her shine and provide the structure and love she needs to thrive.
