My story

　　Brief BioHi, Like the great Miss Lucille Ball, I`m an energetic, sassy, smart, confident, fun, resilient and dramatic redhead. I live for my early morning walks, playing with my toys, and hanging out with you. I`m housetrained and am making quick progress learning to use a doggy door and sitting for treats. I`m crate trained and sleep in my crate overnight. I don`t mind being bathed, having my teeth brushed, or being brushed so may fur can stay shiny and looking its best. I`m not a fan yet of having my nails trimmed or my ears cleaned. I do not like sharing my space or family with other dogs, I should be in a home where it is just me. I need all the attention!Summary of PersonalityI enjoy tossing my toys in the air, playing tug-of-war with my foster family and exploring during my daily walks. I only wish the weather was cooler so I could walk twice a day! So many things to smell and look at! As long as the weather is cool I enjoy walking outdoors and sunbathing. Experience with Dogs, Cats, or other AnimalsI like dogs but would do best in a home where I can be the lead dog.

I enjoy looking at the birds and squirrels in the backyard and at the park.Experience with children, or children that visit the homeI don`t know how I feel about children but I know I don`t enjoy being grabbed at or being touched on the head or having my paws played with. I feel I`d be best in a home without children or with older children who can pet me in a gentle way.Include any observations of being house trained (or not)I`m housetrained and only need to be let out to potty once per night. During the day I`ll stand at the door quietly to be let out so please keep an eye on me so I can go outside. I`m working on letting myself out to do my business.Is your foster crate trained?YesCrate Training ObservationsI`ll cry for a few minutes then fall sleep to a white noise machine. I need to be let once to do my business. I also eat in my crate during mealtimes so that I don`t take my foster family`s dog`s food. Things my foster family has been teaching/working with me onI`m learning to independently use the doggy door to go outside (I`l
