Story
Dog Name: Madonna Breed: Rat Terrier Mix Sex: Spayed female Age: 2 years Weight: 13 lbs Medical Needs: none Housebroken: Madonna is wonderful about using potty pads. At this time, because she freezes up on a leash, she doesn't do her business outside. Crate trained: yes Good in the car: yes, she rides very well in a dog car seat, I haven't let her on a car ride where she hasn't been secured however. Good on a leash: Madonna does not do well on a leash. When she is leashed she freezes up and will not move. During those moments of panic, if you try to pick her up she does react negatively and may attempt to lunge at your arms. We are working on this. Energy level: low Need a fenced in yard: no Dog Friendly: yes, however she is very territorial over her crate. She's fine with my resident dogs unless they wander into her room while she's crated. If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? No Cat Friendly? Not tested Kid Friendly: At one of her fosters, she lived with young children but did not interact with them. The kids are dog savvy and gave her space. She was curious about them. If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? I would recommend any children she lives with to be 10+ years. Madonna may have some vocal cord damage and doesn't exactly growl. Because of this, she can't give a vocal warning when she needs space like other dogs would. Anyone she shares a home with would need some understanding of dog body language and know when to give her space. Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them? Madonna and her puppies are some of the many dogs who came from a massive abuse and neglect case down south. She hasn't known kindness, peace, or structure until very recently. It's taken many slices of cheese and several vienna sausages to gain her trust. When her crate is open, she will come out to use a potty pad and go back in. If I pick her up and bring her to the couch, she will sit next to me for hours watching TV and napping. She can be sensitive to touch and will sometimes flinch if you get to close to her neck. Unfortunately it's believed her abusers carried and tossed her around by the scruff. That being said she now wears a collar and harness just fine without trying to chew it off. She's come a long way, and she just wishes to live in a peaceful home.
