Adoption details

S/F, 10-12 months, Heeler mix, 30 lbs

I was found as a stray by a kind person who kept me for several weeks
while trying to find my family. Unfortunately they couldn't be found
so I came to MaxFund. It is nice here and I get plenty of food,
treats, and petting from the kind staff and volunteers. But it doesn't
feel like home and I am looking forward to finding my own special
person(s) and have a forever-home.

I am a cheery, active little girl who is very loving. In fact, I think
my favorite pastime is cuddling. My second favorite is to go for
walks, or maybe it's playtime with my humans. It is difficult to rank
my most favorite things – but then I am still just a puppy. In my
limited experience, I know I like adults and older children. Well
mannered dogs are nice too. I don't know about cats. I will have to
meet one before I can let you know. I am afraid of cars in the street
and I want to chase them away when they get too close.

I am housetrained and have no problems with sharing my food. I am also
used to short periods of time in a crate. When I first meet you I may
piddle a little bit since I am trying to tell you that I am a
submissive little dog who just wants to please you. I am also a bit of
a chewer and I will need some gentle supervision to show me what
things I can and cannot chew. Puppy kindergarten classes and positive
reinforcement training will help me overcome these behaviors (MaxFund
can give you details about such training). Basically, what I need is
help in building up my self-confidence so that I don't have to be
nervous of anything anymore. I know that I will repay all your
kindness with love and loyalty many times over.

If you happen by the shelter, please stop by and say "hello!" I just
love meeting people. Maybe we could even go for a walk?
