If you look up "Velcro" and "glue" in the dictionary, Immie's picture would be there. She loves her people and is someone's constant shadow. She more readily warms up to women, but if men give her enough scratches and treats, she can be convinced they are friends too.
Immie is the perfect, gentle girl. We can only guess at her breed make-up. She was never reclaimed from animal control, and the reasoning behind that is unfathomable to us as she was clearly loved in the past. Immie is house trained, calm, walks nicely on a leash, and gets along with other dogs. We don't know about cats, but given her temperament, I can't see her being overly interested.
Immie loves food. She came to us very overweight, so her new owner will need to understand keeping portions and treats controlled is important as she has a bit of arthritis in her legs. Because of this, she chooses not to jump on furniture and hasn't figured out the steps. However, she will dance on her back legs to be picked up. She would gladly sleep with her person and likes burrowing under blankets.
Immie had a dental, and 13 teeth were removed. In the process, we learned some of the teeth were dead, and combining that with her odd use of the front right leg, it is possible she sustained some kind of injury to that side of her body in the past.
Because she has some initial separation anxiety somewhere new and can be vocal, apartment life may not be suitable unless someone works from home. This does subside within a few weeks.
