She has the best house manners of any dog we’ve encountered. She does not chew up anything she’s not supposed to. She goes willingly into her crate with the toss of a treat. She stays in whatever space you tell her to, without gates. She had a rough time as a stray in the shelter, but has come out the other side, affectionate, funny and very loveable. She is very smart, learns quickly, and knows many commands. She takes a treat very gently. She is going to make a great addition to her future forever home.
