She'll thrive with someone who appreciates her spunk, gives her the consistency she needs, and loves her fiercely. Once she bonds with you, she'll be loyal for life-and every bit as dazzling as she looks.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Condensed Staff Assessment Notes: Kitty is a powerful and energetic dog who showed her displeasure through demand barking and body-slamming. She preferred exploring outside to being inside the shelter. During our walk, she started with a looser leash but ended up pulling strongly. It took time for her to settle inside for handling, where she tolerated it but showed sensitivity around her tail and legs, indicating a need for space.<br/><br/>She understands cues like "sit," "down," and "come," and responded well to redirection. However, she was unstable around everyday objects, alternating between wariness and quick recovery.<br/><br/>Kitty's rough play included body-slamming and grabbing at my forearms. She seemed confused or disinterested with toys. Her interactions with strangers were pushy; she would jump up and demand attention, leading to barking if they left. When meeting another dog, she needed a slow introduction, initially feeling uncomfortable but improving as the walk continued.
