Mixed Breed Young Dog needs Home

Huntsville AL

Description

This is a listing to keep this sweet animal out of shelter into her home/your home. Trainable, Meek, Affectionate, Low maintenance Dog needs her forever home. More about this dog: is around 40 lbs and almost a year and half years old (breed is expected to live 12-16 yrs). She is of a “wash and wear” short coat that should only shed once hot weather gets here—a few baths and brushing during that time helps if you have dark furniture. She is uptodate on shots and tests negative for heartworm. She enjoys being close to her human but is independent at times. She is eager to please in learning more command words. Reward based training, for pets or treats, seems to work for her and also make her happy. Bonding takes time and trust is gained over time as with any dog. She is cautious in any new situation, but is friendly with news dogs out on walks. She walks well on a leash. An ideal walk for her would be a mile or playing with a buddy at the dogpark. While indoors, she is good to puff bark at alarm of someone outside house but is quick to quiet upon reassurance of her human. This dog would be a most excellent companion for a person who is on the trail/sidewalks nearly daily or probably for a grown young child (8+) that is an all-dog’s-matter enthusiast, she could be prone to nipping to communicate, but this is not an aggressive expression. Good with most other dogs and also a good rider in the car.
