Susie it all — she has bounce, brains and a soft spot for pets!
Susie came to the ASPCA Behavioral Rehabilitation Center from a local shelter after not having the easiest start to life. With patience and support from our program, she has blossomed into the fun, spirited dog she was always meant to be!
Susie is a small but mighty pup with a whole lot of personality. She brings the fun with her wherever she goes and is always ready to play, explore and turn a simple walk into an adventure. She also loves spending time with other dogs! Susie enjoys a good rough-and-tumble play session, but she is also able to adjust her style to match her playmate and take breaks when needed.
With her people, Susie is affectionate, playful and loves to be involved in whatever you’re doing. She’s a big fan of belly rubs, learning new things and will happily roll into your lap and tuck her head under your hand when she’s ready for attention. Once she knows you, she really leans into that cuddly side.
When meeting new people, Susie can be a little unsure, but she’s made wonderful progress. She warms up quickly, especially if you come prepared with an extra tasty treat. Give her a little time and she’ll show you just how fun she is!
Susie enjoys getting out for walks and exploring the world around her. Susie has bursts of playful energy and is then happy to settle and recharge. She can get a little excited on leash, so using a harness and continuing to practice will help her shine as a walking buddy.
Susie is looking for an adopter who is excited to keep building her confidence and include her in daily activities. She thrives when she knows something fun is coming next and does best with a routine that keeps her engaged and active.
If you’re looking for a spunky, playful dog who can keep you company on adventures and then curl up close when the day is done, Susie might be your girl. Please note: The ASPCA Behavioral Rehabilitation Center does not charge adoption fees. Our meet-and-greets take place in Weaverville, North Carolina.
