We have started training this week and will provide progress updates.<br/><br/>House Trained: Yes. Zero accidents in the foster home over the past two months.<br/><br/>Crate Trained: Kali does not need a crate. She does very well free-roaming when her foster family is at work and is not destructive. She does not like being crated and will try to chew her way out, but she truly does not need one.<br/><br/>Energy Level: Low to Medium<br/><br/>Travel Well: Yes. She is excited to get in the car and usually lies down for most of the ride. Occasionally, she enjoys sticking her head out the window.<br/><br/>Favorite Toys/Activities: Bones, Kong balls filled with peanut butter, training sessions, walks, some fetch, and spending time with her people.<br/><br/>Leash Trained: Yes. She walks nicely beside you or slightly ahead. However, she is leash reactive when she sees unfamiliar people or animals during walks. She remains calm when meeting new people at home.<br/><br/>Fence Required: A fenced yard is preferred, but not required. She does well with a non-fenced yard as long as she remains on leash. She generally stays close to her person, but if she sees something exciting, such as another animal or person, she may try to run toward it.<br/><br/>Kali is a sweet 68-year-old, 84-pound Lab mix who was found as a stray in Tennessee. She entered a Tennessee shelter in March and arrived at her foster home in April. During her time in foster care, her smart, loving, and goofy personality has truly blossomed.<br/><br/>Kali was likely someones pet at one point. She knows several commands, including sit, lay down, stay, and come. She is fully house trained and thrives on being close to her people. In her foster home, she has chosen a favorite person to follow everywhere and sleep beside, though she happily bonds with other family members as well.<br/><br/>She enjoys lounging on the couch if theres room, or resting nearby on the floor. While she occasionally places her head or paws on you, she is generally content just being close to her family. Inside the home, she has a calm and relaxed demeanor, spending most of her time following her people from room to room and settling wherever they are.<br/><br/>Kali has a way of making everyone smile. She greets you with a wagging tail and soulful eyes every time you look her way. She makes adorable grunting noises when stretching or getting comfortable and often twitches in her sleep. She is also known to drool enthusiastically when treats or meals are being prepared.<br/><br/>If youre looking for a loyal companion who will be your shadow, Kali may be the perfect match. She is sweet, affectionate, goofy, and incredibly devoted to her family.<br/><br/>Kali is highly food motivated and loves training, treats, and daily walks. An ideal adopter will continue her training and provide regular exercise. While she is generally calm, she does enjoy occasional games of fetch and playing with soft toys, especially when excited.<br/><br/>This week, Kali has begun working with a trainer on a marker word and leash skills. We are focusing on reducing her leash reactivity and pulling when she encounters dogs, people, or other animals during walks. Because she is intelligent, attentive, and motivated by treats, we are confident she will continue making great progress. Updates on her training journey will be provided as she advances.
