Carmalita is currently in foster care in Houston, Tx

This little girl needs a very experienced adopter, she is approx 2.9 yrs old and 17 lbs, she looks like a poodle / terrier mix 
Her foster mom says she is a very happy go lucky dog, she loves to run and play in the yard with her toys or Chasing the squirrels and birds she loves her big doggie bed, although she does like to chew them up at times , she is always smiling and is very independent 
She does have a couple of issues that need some patience and training
She is very reactive to new people until she trusts them
she will lunge and bark at them at an initial meeting , she will eventually settle down but it can take a while , her foster mom muzzles her for walks, the groomers etc
And crates her when people visit 
She also has a tendency after running outside with the other dogs to come back inside to go to the bathroom , she needs to be able to stay outside until she goes and needs to be watched
Otherwise she is a really pretty girl that needs a fully fenced in and secure yard and although she loves to play with the other dogs can get very excited and chase them, and will get very snappy if they get near her while she is eating treats .. so we think she will be better as an only dog 
she needs to be in an all adult home, no children.
