LURA

Female | 8.5 years old | 43 pounds | Medium energy | Does well with slow intros to dogs | Gentle meeting young kids | No cats please, some prey drive | From Mexico | Fostered in Mississauga | Affectionate, curious & obedient<br/><br/>She’s just a gal who loves her walks and being with her humans! Meet LURA. Highly affectionate, LURA enjoys being around her people and uses every chance she gets for pats and snuggles. On the flip side, she can be independent, easily entertaining herself with toys. The confidence she’s gained lately has encouraged her to come out of her shell, progressing from reserved and shy to playful and outgoing. Love to see it!<br/><br/>At home, LURA has been busy learning new commands. Now and again, she might test a boundary. It’s important you reinforce them in such situations, as she thrives on structure, which is what rules provide. Lately, LURA has also been steadily improving on her leash walking skills. LURA has been receptive to training and passes dogs without a fuss and coexists well with dogs after a slow introduction. Of course, her humans will need to continue advocating for her space.<br/><br/>LURA is (somewhat) lower in energy, BUT that doesn’t mean she doesn’t need exercise and mental stimulation… of course she does! This gal loves to explore, which she does by checking out new walking routes and sniffing all the smells that she comes across in the neighbourhood. Occasionally, she might appear interested in a squirrel or rabbit, though all this takes is a little redirection.<br/><br/>LURA enjoys using her crate as her personal space for downtime and often uses it all on her own. On the whole, she’s well-suited to quieter home environments. That said, know that it could also bring her a lot of joy, living in a home with kids. She loves meeting new people, showing how calm and welcoming she is. We can’t wait for you to meet her.<br/><br/>Keen to adopt?
