Story
HalleFemaleAge: 1-2 yearsWeight: 27 lbsBreed: Bassett/Corgi Mix Hi there! I’m Halle, an outgoing, resilient, and super smart girl who loves life and everyone in it! I get along well with other dogs and kids, though I haven't met any cats yet to know how we'd get along. At 1-2 years old, I’ve already been through a lot, but let me tell you—I’m one tough cookie! I may have lost a leg in a car accident, but it hasn’t slowed me down one bit—I even keep up with the big dogs when playing in the yard! I have fully recovered from my past injuries, and now I’m back to doing all the things I love! Dog parks, regular walks, and playtime? Count me in! I absolutely love being outside, playing with other dogs, and soaking up all the attention I can get. Dog beds are my happy place, and I could spend hours lounging with a good bone or frozen snack to keep me entertained. Wearing a thunder shirt in my crate has really helped me settle down, and while I can be a little yappy at first, I calm down once I get comfortable. I’m house trained and great on a leash, so walks are something I really enjoy now! My ideal home would be a single-family house or a place with no shared walls since I have a big personality and like to use my voice when I’m excited or missing my people. A flexible schedule or work-from-home situation would be amazing so I wouldn’t be alone for long periods of time. I’ve been making great progress with crate training and can stay in my crate for short periods, but I would love to be in a home where I have plenty of time with my human. I’ve been through a lot, but every day I’m stronger, happier, and more full of love than ever! I’m looking for a loving, patient person to share my energy, affection, and loyalty with. Could that be you? Let’s make amazing memories together! 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##

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.
