My story

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

- Can be shy with new people and in new situations, but once she's comfortable, she's a total goofball who loves people, toys and being silly



- Gravitates toward those she has a relationship with, and would benefit from confidence-building in her new home



- Smart girl who knows sit



- Young, noisy or busy children can be too much for her (mature home recommended)



- May take some time to warm up to new dogs and may prefer some dogs over others; would be most comfortable with a slow introduction to new dogs (dog intro recommended)



- Needs a home with no cats



- Has a malocclusion, meaning her teeth are not in the correct alignment; had some extractions here at the ARL and may or may not require additional dental work in the future; also may have allergies (more info at ARL)



- All adoptable dogs and puppies are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and DA2PPV as appropriate for age



- The ARL's shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most dogs we are only guessing at primary breed. We get to know each dog as an individual and do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, and not breed label
