Description:
Hey frens! Well, I’m still with the rescue but I’ve been living in a foster home for a few months now. At first it was scary and I was nervous, but now I think it’s pretty cool here and maybe having a home of my own would be be kinda cool!

My foster mom says I’m needy because I prefer to take naps on her lap or in the middle of the bed. She also says I snore like a pig too but I think she’s lying. I also like to suckle and gently chew on her hands, like a pacifier! It helps me calm down and puts me to sleep.

I’ve learned a lot while in a foster home. I don’t really bark too much, I don’t jump up on the table or counters, and I am generally a good girl too. My foster mom says I’m super smart, and sassy, but sometimes I get frustrated or overwhelmed and then I will stomp my feet and huff at her! She’s pretty good at calming me down and she’ll teach you too. Walks and car rides can be great, but sometimes I get scared so slow introductions to new places and short walks at first would be best for me.

I like destroying, I mean playing with tennis balls, stuffed animals, and Kongs and puzzle toys are awesome too! I like learning new things, and my foster mom is always introducing me to new training games. Sometimes they’re lame and I’ll just walk away, but usually they’re pretty fun!

I love meeting people, as long as we go slow. I’m the kind of dog that will shower you with love and attention after I’m comfortable and trust you. I don’t really remember my life before rescue but I know it wasn’t great so I’m cautious, but when I love you oh boy I love you with everything I have!

I think I want a home where I can be the center of attention and if there is at least one person who is home a lot, I would really like that. I’m fine being home alone but sometimes I sing when I think no one is around. Kids are scary for me, so adults only would be better for me.

Well, it’s time for a nap, so I need to go find my pacifier!
