encha is a 3 yr old, 6 lb Toy Fox Terrier and Chihuahua Mix SPAYED FEMALE. She is also microchipped, vaccinated and free of parasites
Sencha has lived with kids and other dogs and does not seem to be that interested in cats. She will walk on a leash and is GREAT in the crate. She is doing really well with her potty habits and it only took 4 days for her to learn the routine in her foster home. We expect a learning curve but she is eager to please and will get it down quickly. She is versatile in that she will use a potty pad or go outside when taken.
In her past life, she was apparently made to stay in her crate almost all of the time. It IS her safe place, but she needs to be encouraged to spend time outside of it. Apparently, her foster mom has done a GREAT job of teaching her about LAPS.
Sencha is shy around new people and her new owners need to understand that she is slow to warm. Once she loves you, she LOVES you but each new person is scary. She loves *her* kids, but needs proper introductions to new kids so busy homes without a place for her to retreat may not be the best set up.
We will pay for dog training classes for a new adopter because learning and performing commands and being rewarded for doing so helps build a dog's confidence. Lots of walks helps this too as does a routine when meeting new people (the best treats ever that she only gets when meeting new people is helpful).
Thanks to a generous sponsor -- Sencha's adoption fee has been sponsored to an approved home.
To find out more about adoption, please email us at beourpet@gmail.com and tell us about yourself and your home.
To donate towards Sencha's medical expenses and training classes while in our care (around $500) please make a tac-deductible donation at www.paypal.me/UOH. Umbrella of Hope is an all-volunteer organization that is committed to saving senior, special needs, medically needy, hospice, plain and SHY dogs but we need support to continue to do so.
