Pretty

Pretty A family dog without a family<br/><br/>About 1 year old Dutch Shepherd mix 43 lbs.<br/><br/>Her name is Pretty, and although she's gorgeous, we probably should have called her Joy. Because this girl is just ridiculously happy to be here. <br/><br/>Pretty was rescued from an overcrowded shelter after what we can only assume was a pretty rough start to life. But you would never know it from meeting her. She is outgoing, confident, gentle, affectionate, and absolutely delighted by people. She approaches life like she just won the lottery—and honestly, maybe she knows she did.<br/><br/>Pretty LOVES her people. Belly rubs? Yes. Couch cuddles? Absolutely. Being included in whatever you're doing? Non-negotiable. Her foster mom says her least favorite thing might simply be being left out. Pretty has some serious FOMO and is happiest wherever her humans and dog friends happen to be.<br/><br/>She also loves other dogs and has been having a blast with the dogs in her foster home. She's playful and still has some goofy puppy energy, but she's not hyper. She'll happily wrestle and romp outside, then come inside and completely pass out on the couch. She's still learning that not every dog wants to party quite as enthusiastically as she does, and she's already getting much better at reading their cues.<br/><br/>For a girl who's still figuring out this whole "family dog" thing, she's doing amazingly well. Pretty is essentially house trained and learning her new routine, has made huge progress with crate training and sleeps in her crate overnight, walks beautifully on leash without pulling, and is an excellent passenger in the car.<br/><br/>One of the sweetest things about Pretty is watching her discover normal life. Sometimes it seems like she's experiencing the simplest things for the very first time—and every day, a little more of her personality comes out.<br/><br/>And what a personality it is.<br/><br/>She's silly. She's snuggly. She's playful. She's affectionate. She's confident and curious about the world. She loves balls and stuffed animals, naps and adventures, other dogs and, most of all, being part of a family.<br/><br/>Her foster mom described it perfectly: Pretty is blossoming. <br/><br/>Now she just needs a family of her own to blossom with.
