Tickles's story

　　Tickles is a one+ year old high energy mixed breed, probably some schnauzer due to the whiskers on her muzzle, maybe some hound or beagle due to her beautiful coat and her voice. She came to us nervous and scared, she had been through a lot in her short life and was very barky. She has since settled in and is becoming a wonderful young lady.

　　She is working on her commands, she has a great sit, a good Come, a good down, and a good NO. She is cat friendly, she is cat curious, but she accepts the fact that she has to share her home with a cat. She loves children, but in her youthful exuberance, she will knock small children over trying to play. She accepts other dogs, but she does like to be the dominant female if she can. She listened when they told her to stop and smell the roses, in fact she will stop and smell most anything when walking, which is why she is still wearing a harness. We are working on her leash manners, she pays attention and does not get out of hand while walking, she just does not like walking at the pace of her 80 year old daddy, she is young and needs someone with some energy to work her excitement out.

　　She wants to be a running, jogging, hiking and mountain trails partner. The big plus is that she is well trained in the art of the potty, she will practically go potty on command. You don't have to spend hours walking her to get her to finish her business, just tell her and it is done! This makes her an easy dog to keep in a smaller space or where you don't have time for long walks before work.

　　No accidents at all since we have had her. She goes to the door and asks to go out. We think she would be a great companion for a younger person that wants a dog to walk and run with. Give her lots of toys to keep busy with while you are gone during crate time, and enjoy the outdoors with a new friend. Ask to meet Tickles and be prepared to fall in love.
