Sweetie

💕 SWEETIE

2–3 YEARS | SPAYED FEMALE

Her name is Sweetie, and honestly, it fits. This gorgeous girl is affectionate, cuddly, smart, and happiest when she gets a good balance of adventure and quality couch time with her person.

Sweetie is medium-to-high energy and has great self-control when her exercise needs are being met. Give her a chance to burn off some steam and she walks beautifully on leash, responds well to correction, and settles into being a lovely companion. Skip the exercise and suddenly every squirrel within a three-mile radius becomes breaking news. 😂

🚗 Loves car rides

🏠 10/10 potty trained

🛏️ Crate trained, but can also be left safely in a room and is not destructive

🎓 Knows sit

🛋️ Excellent couch-cuddling credentials

🧠 Smart girl who thrives with structure and exercise

💗 Loves scratches, rubs, cuddles and Kongs

Sweetie would do best with older kids. She gets very excited when she sees little ones and, between her size and enthusiasm, she may simply be too much dog for young children.

🐱 Cats? Heck no. Sweetie would like us to formally report that cats, squirrels, rodents and basically anything small and scurrying are highly suspicious and should not be trusted. 😂

🐶 Dogs are a little more complicated. Sweetie has boarded in a home with other dogs and can show appropriate, friendly interest through gates. However, we’ve been told her behavior with dogs can change unpredictably, so she has not been allowed loose interaction in her current foster home. Our preference is to place Sweetie as the only dog, where there’s no need to gamble with compatibility and she can soak up all the attention herself.

One important thing to know about Sweetie: fast hand movements around her head can still frighten her. She needs people who will respect that sensitivity and give her the predictability and security she deserves.

Sweetie isn’t looking for a chaotic household or a collection of furry roommates. She’s looking for her person. Someone who wants a dog to ride shotgun, go exploring, get some exercise, come home, commandeer the couch and then stare lovingly at them while silently demanding scratches.

Basically, Sweetie would like to be your one and only four-legged leading lady. 💕🐾
