Dee is a joyful and wiggly 2-year-old pup bursting with energy and love! Surrendered due to housing restrictions, she’s incredibly friendly, great with kids (per owner), and housebroken. Dee adores playtime, especially fetch with squeaky toys, and happily shares her toys. She loves booty scratches, knows “sit,” and takes treats gently. With her ever-wagging tail and playful personality, Dee is ready to bring endless happiness to her new home!
Behavior Notes:
Per staff 12/26/24:
KENNEL PRESENTATION:
Dee being housed in an elevated sidebank at this time. When she saw me approach she had soft eyes and was wagging so hard her whole body was wiggling! She put her head right through my lop and allowed me to lift her out of kennel without an issue.
LEASH SKILLS:
Pulls moderately
HANDLING:
Dee was bouncy and wiggly as soon as we entered the room. She ran around the room mouthing at toys and jumping up on me to say hi. She was very playful and liked to play with squeaky toys, chasing them and bringing them right back. She let me take the toys right from her mouth without issue! Dee allowed all handling with no issues and an ever wagging tail. She especially enjoyed booty scratches and would wiggle her butt and kick her leg happily. Dee knew “sit” and took treats gently. Overall, she’s a happy, wiggly puppy with lots of energy and love to give!
PLAY:
Engages in play
TOYS:
Loves toys, releases willingly and likes to play fetch!
Per owner 12/24/24: Lovable friendly great with children, housebroken, high energy
Per staff 12/24/24: Very friendly and wiggly, can be jumpy but just excited to be with people
