You'll often find her at the front of her kennel with a loose, wagging tail, ready to head out for her next adventure. She's easy to leash and excited to get going - sometimes a little too excited! She can pull on leash at first, especially when she has lots of pent-up energy, but she settles in and enjoys sniffing, exploring, and spending quality time with her person.In the yard, she's loose, wiggly, and very affectionate. She loves to jump up for attention and lean in for pets. Cuddle time is high on her priority list, and she's happy to check in with her handler between zoomies. She's also a fetch enthusiast - once you start a game, she'll happily keep it going!She knows "sit," is treat motivated, and takes treats nicely. She has been vaccinated successfully and has allowed handling well in many interactions. At times, she may be sensitive about certain types of restraint or close physical exams, occasionally offering a warning snap if uncomfortable. However, she recovers quickly, returning to a wagging tail and seeking affection. With clear communication, patience, and positive reinforcement, she thrives.Other great qualities: Ignores barking dogs when walking past kennelsAffiliative and people-focusedEnergetic and playfulEasy to return to kennelBecause of her enthusiasm and strength, she would do best with an adopter who can help her channel her excitement through structure, exercise, and continued training. She's a wonderful candidate for an active home that will provide enrichment, consistency, and lots of love.If you're looking for a sweet, spirited companion who will keep you smiling and shower you with affection, she might be your perfect match!
