Meet Shanna the Love Sponge! This sweet mixed breed came to HeRD as a stray so little is known about her past. Shanna is flashy, fun, and ready for a family to call her own! Shanna is estimated to be two years or slightly younger as of November 2016 and weighs 40 pounds. This confident social butterfly just wants to be with people! She bonded immediately with her foster parent, follows her around everywhere. She loves to snuggle and shower you with kisses and will sit right next to you. While her shelter intake form indicated she does not do well with some dogs, her temporary foster home in Roswell indicated she did okay with their neutered male and was getting better with their female dog after a few days. Since she has arrived at HeRD and after a two week, slow introduction, thus far she is doing great with two resident female dogs. She has been introduced to cats while leashed and/or crated and so far does well, no reaction when seeing the dog savvy cats. Children are unknown and because of her energy level and tendency to jump up on people, small children would not be the best match for this girl. Shanna absolutely loves toys, especially the squeaky toys along with interactive toys and treat filled Kong’s – she is a smart girl. She’s a moderately high energy girl who will need a good chunk of vigorous exercise daily to be at her best. She has a great off switch inside after exercise. Shanna also has some skills – she is housetrained and learning to crate easily. Shanna sleeps in her crate at night and does well in crate when foster parent is away from home. In just a short time she has learned how to sit while taking treats gently and is in the process of learning down along with working on her recall. She loves to run and explore so a solid recall is a must. She needs work walking politely on a leash, but an Easy Walk Harness should help with that. She does like to investigate the counter tops. Continued training in the basics and beyond will help Shanna become the outstanding canine citizen she can be. All in all, Shanna is a wonderfully happy, outgoing, total mush of a dog. If you are looking for a marvelously affectionate and devoted friend, Shanna with the big smile may be the girl for you. Shanna is fully vetted, on heartworm preventative and microchipped.
