HalleFemaleAge: 2 yearWeight: 28 lbsBreed: Corgi Bassett Mix Hi, I'm Halle! I'm friendly, outgoing, and pretty darn smart (if I do say so myself). I get along great with other dogs, cats, and kids — I’m basically the social butterfly of the dog world. I'm fully house-trained and crate-trained, too! I’m comfortable hanging out in my crate when needed, and I’ve started being left out for short periods of time (we’re working on building up that trust for longer stretches — and I’m doing great!). My ideal home? Somewhere chill with no shared walls — I can be a little vocal when I'm excited or just sharing my thoughts, so apartment life isn't really my vibe. I love going on walks, hitting up the dog park, playing with my people, and then crashing on a cozy dog bed when it’s time to relax. If you're looking for a smart, affectionate companion who knows how to have fun and relax, I might just be your girl. Can’t wait to meet you! If you are interested in meeting Halle, apply to adopt her at www.causeforcanines.org Adoption fee: $350. Must be an Ohio resident & 23 or older. Children must be 5 or older. ##2182613##

Story
Meet Yoko , the sweetest little companion you could ask for! Yoko is a loving and affectionate dog who thrives on companionship. She adores being close to people and will happily curl up on your lap while you watch TV. She’s incredibly cuddly and always looking for attention and affection. On walks, Yoko is friendly with everyone, she loves saying hello to other dogs and humans! She has a gentle, social nature that makes her easy to love. I’m heartbroken to part with her, but due to a recent divorce and already caring for my 6-year-old Golden Retriever, it has become too much for me to manage on my own. Yoko deserves a home where she can be showered with love and attention. She truly is a little treasure, and I know she’ll bring so much joy to her future family.

Swedish Vallhund fun facts

Fun Facts:

The Swedish Vallhund was brought back from near-extinction in the 1940s by an impassioned dog fancier, his schoolteacher friend, and their students who foraged through the Swedish countryside by bicycle to find the dogs that would restore the breed.

The Swedish Vallhund means "Swedish herding dog." In 1964, they were renamed the "Västgötaspets," or "Spitz of the Westh Goths."

This breed is perfect for cattle herding: their long backs, short legs, and low to the ground stature make them simultaneously able to nip at the heels of livestock and avoid kicks to the head. Their tails can be small tufts or long, spitz-like plumes.
