Foster Home Feedback
4/21/17 Volunteer Feedback: McKenna is a great dog. She loves to learn new tricks and go on walks. She is very affectionate and likes to play tug-o-war. McKenna is very curious about cats and I think she would do well with a cat who is used to dogs. She met my mom's cat (who wasn't all that pleased to have a dog's nose in her face) and just wanted to be friends. McKenna is a bit high energy and needs a good walk or two and attention throughout the day. Given the chance, she will lick your face from top to bottom. I have not seen any resource guarding. McKenna knows "sit", "touch", and "down" solidly, and we're learning "leave it" and "stay". She takes a little longer to learn a new command but once she learns it she remembers it.

3/28/17 Volunteer Feedback: We had McKenna at our house for a couple overnighters, to give her a break from the shelter. She makes herself right at home. McKenna does well on stairs, and is well familiar with sleeping on couches and beds. There is still puppy in her, and that comes out with her enthusiasm and mannerisms. She tried to get our 8-year old Foxhound mix to play, and eventually they went through the play motions; as much as they could inside the house. We didn't have any potty training issues. She was perfect both times she was here.
McKenna likes to be around people but is not underfoot. She likes to eat. I would pet her some when she was eating to see if she was a defensive eater, and I didn't get any negative reactions. I would sit close to her food dish, and she didn't seem to mind, and she didn't adjust to put herself between me and the dish. She currently gets her kibble for treats and training. She takes food from my fingers very nicely. McKenna knows the command "sit", so that is a good start. It had been two weeks since she was spayed, so I was able to give her a bath. She does fairly well in the tub and didn't try to jump out, like some of our dogs. McKenna didn't like to be toweled off, and as a result, she escaped and sprayed us real good when she shook!
She has big dog qualities and personality, but she only weighs about 40 pounds, She likes to sit by the large window and look outside and will bark some when people walk by, or when our other dog would bark at something he could actually see. On average, McKenna is very quiet. She likes to greet people in a happy way when they come home. McKenna is a good dog, and just waiting for the right person to find her.
3/1/2017: My name is McKenna, and I am a sweet girl with some energy. I enjoy running around, going for walks and cuddling. I am learning some basic obedience and attended training classes weekly. I am ok with large dogs and love to play with them if there are no bones around. I do not like little dogs and should not go to a home with them. I also suffer from some resource guarding so I will need a home that will continue to work with me on this. I need to be fed away from other dogs and don’t do well with sharing toys. I can be quick and sneaky to run out the door if someone isn’t watching me. So, young kids in my forever home may not be the best for me to keep me safe.
