Sweets

FAST FACTS:<br/>* 3 years old & 75lbs<br/>* Dog-friendly, prefers polite and submissive dogs<br/>* No cats - high prey drive<br/>* Potty-trained<br/>* Working on crate training<br/>* Kid-friendly<br/>* People-pleaser, lovebug and goofy<br/><br/>This 3-year-old Kelpie/Shepherd mix came to us as an owner surrender from Southern, IL, and she's ready to find a fresh start with a family of her own. Sweets absolutely adores her people and wants nothing more than to be involved in whatever you're doing, whether that's heading out for an adventure or curling up on the couch afterward for some well-earned relaxation.<br/><br/>Sweets is potty-trained, receptive to commands, and seems very familiar with life in a home. She's happiest when she can stretch her legs outside, making her a wonderful companion for an active family or someone who enjoys walks, hikes, or simply spending time outdoors. She walks beautifully on leash and loves soaking up the sights and smells of the world around her.<br/><br/>When playtime rolls around, Sweets is all about toys and chew bones. Her goofy personality shines through when she's entertaining herself or trying to convince you that she definitely deserves one more toss of the toy.<br/><br/>Like many dogs, Sweets has a few areas where she'll need support from her future family. She can experience anxiety in new environments and is currently working on crate training and becoming more comfortable being alone. She also has a high prey drive toward outdoor critters and cats, so a feline-free home will be important for her success.<br/><br/>Sweets can be selective with other dogs and has shown resource guarding behaviors around toys, food, and her favorite humans. Because of this, she'll need an adopter who has experience managing these behaviors and understands how to set her up for success. If she shares her home with another dog, she tends to do best with calm, submissive male dogs who respect her space and boundaries.<br/><br/>The right home for Sweets is one that will appreciate all of the things that make her special: her loyalty, her affectionate nature, her silly side, and her desire to be someone's very best friend. Give her a little patience and understanding, and you'll gain a devoted companion who will happily join you for adventures by day and lounge beside you on the couch by night.<br/><br/>If interested in adopting me, please fill out an application on our website at www.fetchingtailsfoundation.org; please make sure you fill in every required field/question or your submission will not go through.
