If you're looking for a fun-loving companion who is beautiful, very affectionate, and well- behaved, I'm your girl. Yes, I have a pretty face, but I'm also smart as a whip, which means my forever family should have experience with active breeds that need both physical and mental stimulation. Training and agility classes would be idea for me and I love going on nature hikes and swimming in the lakes and nearby dog parks. I also have a keen sense of my surroundings; I'm attentive and curious about new people and places.
My ideal home should include a fenced yard. I love to run and play outside, enjoy long walks, rides in the car, and can also hang out at home with people. If you're active, plan to take me with you! A balance of outside time and being with people is a perfect mix for me, but I'm nothappy when left at home alone. I'm at my best when I can count on being with my loving family.
My favorite indoor pastime is chewing a strong Nylabone because it helps manage my young teeth. I also love tennis balls and tough squeaky toys. Going to doggie daycare is a real treat because I really enjoy playing with other dogs. I've been given high marks for good behavior at daycare.
I would be happy as a sole dog with a single person or a family that has solid dog experience. If there's another dog in the house, my best companion is a soft-hearted adult retriever or retriever-like dog between 2-6 years old. I like adult female dogs, too, but they can be put off bymy good looks, charm, and sharp mind. Yes, they're jealous and don't always like me. But, I keep trying because I like them.
I am spayed and microchipped along with a full veterinary checkup and vaccines. My adoption fee is $325. For more information or if you would like to meet me, please fill out an adoption survey at carenorthshore.org/dog-adoption-survey.
