View more

Retriever mix pup. I am pretty smart, have lots of energy, house trained, love people and giving kisses. I play well with non alpha dogs my size. I love water and walks. I would love a home with an active family, middle aged couple or just recently active, calm, patient, retired couple that will continue my leash, obedience, socialization, potty training. Also I would require daily runs and walks. No children under 8 years of age! No apartments or cats. Hi there my name is Pidge or Pidgey. My foster mommy found me when I was 4 weeks old and when she picked me up she said, “come on Pidge lets go”. That was September 2016. I was severely dehydrated and a bit on the skinny side. See my mama is a stray and well she had a bunch of puppies and as we got bigger she was having a hard time keeping up with us and here in San Antonio it is really hot and dry. My foster mama took me to the vet and I got my first set of shots. Well, my immune system was not good at all and I broke out with ringworm all over the place. So back to the vet I went and they gave me some medicine to take. We got that under control, but my puppy shots had to be broken up at 1 at a time, so my immune system could catch up. I have 3 foster siblings. One is a big Doberman, she is older but she still plays with me. I wish I could jump onto the trampoline with her, but I haven’t figured that out yet. My other two foster siblings are Dachshunds they can be annoying. The female I get along with better, but the male…that is another story. He tries to act like he is the boss of everything and has picked a fight with me….problem is I like him until he acts like this. So, sometimes we have to have time outs. I hate this; I just know I am missing out on fun. Oh, my foster people….there are three kids. One is 13 and she takes me on walks, one is 6 and I love it when she lays her head on me like I am a pillow and she plays on her ipad, the 3 year old…. Oh My Gosh!!!! He throws water balloons…. That is my most favorite thing EVER!!!!! My foster mama says I set on them and thinks someone should teach me to hunt. She also compares my obsession with catching water balloons to a border collie catching a Frisbee. I also love water. Laying in a pool, playing in the rain, I even like to climb in the tub or shower when people are in there. I love treats and stuffed toys too. I am potty trained, I have accidents if I don’t get let out in time. I know how to sit, lay down and stay. I know a hand signal for sit and I am working on the down and stay ones too. I just get so excited I have a hard time focusing, unless there is a water balloon….that I have no trouble focusing on. This pet is located near San Antonio, Texas and we have many transports a month to the WA and Oregon. If interested in adopting Amelia , contact us at info@dogdiggityrescue.com
