My story

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

Foster Q & A!

Animals Name: Gardinia (we call her `Frankie`)
Animals ID Number: A857113

Basics
1. Housetrained? Working on it! She is a fast learner, and getting a lot better with letting us know she needs to go, or going out in the yard on her own.
2. Good with dogs? Yes. She plays nonstop with our Jack Russell Terrier, who is about her size. She is VERY interested in our 12 year old Chihuahua and smaller dogs in general, although her puppy energy is a bit much for our Chihuahua at times. She is very sweet and gentle when playing!
3. Good with cats? Not sure
4. Good with kids? Not sure
5. Details on leash training, crate training, litter box training and other training commands known: She is learning to walk on a leash and making great progress! We leave her kennel door open, and she will sometimes go in there to nap during the day. She takes herself to bed and sleeps in her kennel (with the door open), when she isn`t snuggling in bed with us.
6. Details on personal history, if known (how did he/she arrive at the shelter): Not sure. Frankie was emaciated and super dehydrated when she came to PACC. Despite her clearly rough beginning, she is the biggest sweetheart and lover. She is curious about the world and would love someone to go adventuring with, and also curl up on the couch. She loves riding in the car, hanging in the yard, or lazing on the couch on a cozy blanket.

This Animal’s Characteristics
Please provide as much detail as possible. Specific behavior examples/experiences that illustrate their qualities are a big help!

1. Describe cuddling behavior/affection level: Super affectionate, trusting, and cuddly. The best kisses!
2. Describe play behavior and favorite toys: Frankie loves lick bads with peanut butter and yogurt, and plush toys like Lamb Chop. She is doing well at sharing and learning
3. Describe activity level: Energetic! She is a bundle of energy and would love a furry companion to play with, but Frankie also `reads the room` and is down for couch time. She loves lounging on the porch with her temporary brother and sister, and spends time in all the different beds throughout the house and patios.
4. Look into the animal’s eyes. What is he/she telling you? I love you! Thank you for saving me and giving me this awesome guy to play with, all these yummy treats (I love treats!), comfy beds, and plush toys to toss in th
