Suzzie

Suzzie—also known as Suzzie Q, Suzzie Doo, Suzzers, and a dozen other nicknames—is a sweet, affectionate girl who is happiest curled up beside her person. She is a 7 year old English Cocker Spaniel. When she first arrived, she was very shy and unsure of everything around her. She’s come a long way since then, though she can still be a little sensitive to sudden movements. With patience and gentle reassurance, her loving personality really shines through.<br/><br/>She’s highly motivated by snacks (food is her first love) and absolutely adores pets, especially ear scratches. Most of her day is spent snoozing, but the moment she senses activity she’s right there, hopeful for a treat or some attention.<br/><br/>Suzzie knows “no” very well and is polite around doorways, often pausing and waiting for permission before going through. She’s mostly learned “sit,” and is currently working on “wait.” Mealtime is her favorite event of the day—she gets so excited that she’ll eagerly headbutt your legs as you carry her bowl, then dash into her crate to wait for it. Because she eats quickly, a slow feeder is a big help.<br/><br/>She has bursts of playful energy and loves zooming around the backyard, though she’s still getting used to her collar and leash. (She’s making progress!) Her crate is her safe space—she relaxes there during the workday with a midday break, runs to it when she feels unsure, and sleeps through the night without accidents. Just be aware: if her crate isn’t covered, she may greet the sunrise with a chorus of howls! She’s also enjoyed a few successful sleepovers in the big bed on weekends.<br/><br/>Suzzie is great with other dogs but cats are unknown. She is also great with children over the age of 8.<br/><br/>All in all, Suzzie is a true gem—gentle, loving, and full of heart. She’s ready to bring so much warmth and joy to the lucky person who welcomes her home.
