---
- Came from a situation where she did not get the socialization and exposure to the world that dogs typically get from a young age. Because of this, she may struggle with new situations, may show uncertainty with novel everyday objects, may need help understanding leashes, and will need patience and structure with housetraining.
- A very sweet girl who always has her tail wagging
- Enjoys playing with other dogs in her foster home and would likely benefit from a confident dog friend in her new home to help show her the ropes
- Treats are a great way to help her warm up - one of her favorites is spray cheese!
- Loves to lie down on soft spots, whether it's a chair, the couch, or a cushion; she loves sleeping on the couch!
- Has been doing well with potty training in her foster home, just remember any dog may take time to adjust to a new environment and routine
- Is working on leash training in her foster home, but has a long way to go, will do best with a fenced-in yard that she can explore freely
- Deaf and seems to have impaired vision; being with other dogs helps her understand what's going on, like when it's time to come inside from the yard (more info at ARL)
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, not breed label.
