Newfoundland Dog - 4 yo female

Menlo Park CA

Description

Artemis is a 4-5 year old Newfie who we rescued from a shelter along with her four gorgeous babies (all of whom have been adopted!). She is the definition of a gentle giant weighing in around 120 lbs! Artemis is both a playful pup and a couch potato. She will get zoomies pretty regularly and will wrestle and play with toys very strongly for an hour, then she'll be a lounger for 5 or 6 hours at a time. Artemis is not a regular barker and is pretty quiet for the most part! Artemis does love to chew at times, but she only chews on nylabones and other "super chewer" toys. The best home for Artemis would be a family who is used to large dogs. She does like to have a lot of room to run (or another dog to wrestle with as a substitute). She can also play rough with some body slams, so the owners need to be prepared to handle a large 100+ lb dog. Artemis would really love someone who can give her loads of attention at night. She does love to sit on furniture and be on the bed and can be a messy eater/drinker, so it's important that that's all allowed in the house! As her hair grows longer, she will need regular brushing every day to help deter mats. Artemis is the most snuggly Newfoundland I've ever met! Most Newfies will snuggle for a maximum of 5 minutes at a time, but Artemis is in it for the long haul. She's the perfect mix of being independent and affectionate.
