We share these notes on our website so adopters can get an accurate, realtime picture before requesting a meet & greet. Please read everything carefully before contacting us. Doing so helps cut down on unnecessary emails and allows us to respond faster to adopters who truly need assistance. A reminder: behavior can shift dramatically between environments, and every dog needs a decompression period in a new home. For some, that's a few days; for others, it may take several weeks or even months. If no update is currently listed, please check back soon. We're actively working with the foster to gather the most recent information.<br/><br/>Briefly describe the dog's overall personality and temperament:<br/>When we first picked her up she was nervous and slightly skittish. She has since warmed up. She is very attached to me - whenever she can be by my side she is there. She's sweet, calm, wants lots of love. Has been great with the other dogs as well as the kids.<br/><br/>What does a typical day currently look like for the dog? (Feeding, walks, play, naps, crate time, etc.)<br/>Feeding 2x a day in crate. Goes out in our fenced in backyard 4 x a day. Will go for a longer walk every few days or so. Mostly is a couch potato so when not outside or feeding she just wants to sit by your side napping or getting cuddles. Pretty good in the crate - is definently getting more used to it and doesn't disturb us overnight.<br/><br/>What is the dog currently eating?
