My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Terracotta!
About:
Terracotta will fit easily into so many different homes and families. She has a playful, yet calm and affectionate temperament, and she just wants to be near and loved by people of her own. She is incredibly human social, and has done excellent meeting new human friends.

The Perfect Mix of Active and Cuddly:
Terracotta enjoys her walks and running around in the yard (she loves pool time too!). Once she gets some outdoor activity, Terracotta is happy to self entertain with toys, or cuddle. She's incredibly affectionate, and loves belly scratches, rolling around in soft blankets, and giving kisses to her humans.

Your New Copilot:
Terracotta is a perfect car passenger, she jumps in on her own, lets you buckle her seatbelt, and then lays down for the entire car ride. Have a road trip coming up or dog friendly errands? Terracotta is ready to be your copilot!

Well-Mannered:
Terracotta is a well behaved lady - she already knows sit, shake, and down. On walks she's a loose leash walker and frequently checks in with her humans. She's also very food motivated, so we suspect she'll be easy and fun to train. Don't forget that this girl is house trained, making her an easy addition to any home.

Ready to meet your new bestie?
Terracotta is so ready for her forever home! Despite her long stay at the shelter her good manners and sweet temperament have remained consistent. Have another dog? Contact us to schedule a meet and greet and see if it's the right fit!
