BIO:
Greetings from your furry friend Ada. Fetching Tails rescued me from an overcrowded partner shelter in Texas, where I’d lived for more than 7 months, and placed me in a wonderful foster home. Now that I know what it’s like to feel safe and loved, I’m quickly blossoming into the happy, loving, and confident dog I was always meant to be. My favorite activities are snuggling with my foster family (especially in their beds), playing with my new toys (bones and Kongs are my favorites), and taking long walkies (I’m getting better on the leash every day!) I get along with other dogs, though I need slow introductions, and I even like cats, although I’ve noticed the feeling isn’t always mutual and I would do best with a kitty who doesnt mind my playful nature with them. 

Here are some other things you should know about me.  First, I’m 100% potty trained, and I am also crate trained.  I would also thrive with patient humans who understand that it takes me time to adjust and feel secure so we will probably need a few meet and greets to get to know each other; once I know I am safe with my people, I am the most loyal, loving dog you will ever meet. At least initially while I settle in, I would prefer a quiet home without too many visitors (I sometimes bark at people at first until we become friends) and older kids who understand my personality. I would do best in a quiet, suburban neighborhood, and if you have a fenced yard, I prefer a privacy fence rather than a chain-link. But if you don’t have a yard, lots of long walks that let me safely enjoy my outdoor time will be fine. Lastly, I’m very smart and need my person/people to commit to signing me up for training classes. Since I can be reactive around hyper dogs, a program with calmer pups or private lessons would be best. I’ll thrive as I learn—especially with tempting treats for extra motivation—and I promise to become the best canine companion ever! I even have quite the leg up on my classmates because my foster parents have worked with me to learn many basic commands including sit, down, touch, watch me, leave it and find it!

Have I convinced you it’s time to schedule a meet & greet? Then please fill out an adoption application ASAP. When we get together, you’ll recognize me by my bright eyes, wagging tail, and big smile meant just for you! 

Love and licks,
Ada
