LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT LAP: Approx. 4 years old / Approx. 12 lbs.
Hi, I’m Suzy! I came to Mostly Mutts after finding myself in need of a new home and family to love. I’m so grateful that Mostly Mutts was able to take me in and I am happy to be soaking up all the love from the volunteers. Now I'm ready to find a wonderful home of my own. Perhaps with you?
• OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts, and though I wasn’t quite ready to play, I also didn’t show any aggression. Calmer dogs may be best so if you have a nice, calm-natured dog at home already, let’s meet! / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, so let’s meet. Calm, older kids 10+ who understand to go slowly with me may be a good fit and best no toddlers that may fall on me.
• PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m a little lap-loving girl, the kind who curls right into you and almost drifts off to sleep in your arms. I try so hard to be brave, even when things feel big and loud. During my bath, I was a little timid at first…but I stood there, trembling just a bit, letting my bather scrub, rinse, and clean my ears because I knew she was helping me. I even do these funny little head tilts as I try to understand what’s happening. I don’t really care about toys yet, but maybe you can show me how much fun they can be. Fast movements and loud noises startle me a bit, so I need someone who will be patient as I learn about my new home. When you move gently, I melt. I love being held, tucked close, feeling safe. I don’t bark at people; I’m too busy trying to figure out the world quietly. But when I’m left alone in my crate, I may let out a loud, high-pitched cry because I don’t understand why you’re gone so best no condo/apartment living for me. I’m tiny, sweet, friendly, and just want to be near my person. I’m a true lap dog, happiest when I’m pressed against your chest, trusting you completely. / Energy level: 3-5, which may increase as I get more comfortable.
• SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I'm in the Mostly Mutts University training program and have already mastered the ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘come’ and ‘leave it’ commands as well as use proper door etiquette and I look forward to learning more. Let's continue my training together with the free lifetime training classes that Mostly Mutts offers for all their adopted dogs! / My crate manners are good at the shelter, but I did elicit some high-pitched cries when crated during a ½ day foster stay so apartment/condo living may not be best. / My potty manners have been good on the shelter schedule.
• LIKES/DISLIKES: I like attention and spending time in a lap. I’m sure we’ll find lots more things we like to do together! / I don’t like loud noises, fast movements or spending too much time alone in my crate, and like all dogs, I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, exercise, and training.
