Check out this little nugget! Baby is an almost 2-year-old (in June) spayed female we first heard about in January. She came from a production breeder situation (breeding for cash/dogs being warehoused and used for breeding) and as such was not well socialized, had resource aggression around food and toys, dog reactivity, and wasn't house trained. You've come a long way, Baby! Baby is a petite little girl, only 61 pounds, and full of spice and nice. We were able to get her to a foster home last month and she's been enjoying her time with the Foster Family and her pal Tater, and loves to wrassle and play in the water with Tater (the kiddie pool in the back yard is getting a workout, and she and Tater learned to swim at the lake this week!). She's high drive and, lacking socialization in her formative months, plays hard. She doesn't always respond well to cues from the other dog during play, so needs a home without other dogs, or with a larger dog (male only) who won't be triggered by her high octane play style, and who, with help from their owners, can continue to help to educate her on appropriate play. Baby can still be reactive on leash towards other dogs, so needs work there, and also can be very reactive behind a fence, so needs home where this isn't a factor (acreage, no passersby), or with someone who understands fence triggers and will work with her to eliminate this issue. She knows basic commands and is learning manners, and would benefit from an obedience class with her new owner. She's not a bad girl, she was just never taught, having lived a life of confinement and isolation. Every day is a new, wonderful adventure, compared to what she came from, and she's loving every minute of it. Baby is active and would do well in a breed-experienced home that is looking for a dog to go on adventures with, or train with in nose work/tracking, barn hunt, agility, obedience - the possibilities are endless for this energetic girlie. At the end of the day this little girl is a snuggler - she loves nothing better than to cuddle up next to her humans and is thoroughly adorable as a pint-sized princess. She is house trained now, and crate trained as well. We have no history with small children, so children in the home must be over age 12. She is good with male dogs her size or larger, but not females, and no small dogs in home. We also don't have any history with cats, so a home without cats is necessary.
