1. I was found as a stray and made my way to MN after giving birth to 11 huge puppies. I always have a smile on my face for you and want to just cuddle with my humans more than anything else. And you will want to cuddle because my coat is silky soft! I am potty trained and haven’t had any accidents in the house. I love to be outside…even on those cold days I do a great job getting outside to do my business. Rolling in the snow and eating the snow is one of my favorite things. I am a pretty quiet girl and rarely bark. I am learning to be a “pet” dog. I don’t fully understand toys yet but have been working on puzzle toys and eat out of e puzzle bowl (because I eat fast!). My favorite meal topper is unsalted sardines…so stinky! I am friendly with the three resident dogs here, especially outside. Inside the house, I want human mom all to myself. I haven’t figured out how to play with them yet and mostly ignore them…even though they have tried to playbow and tippy tap to invite me to play. Maybe I will become more playful when I find my forever home and have time to socialize without my little babies. I am easy to train and very treat motivated. I am learning to wait for treats to take them more gently. I am very attentive to my human and am good at following her directions while training. She says I am very smart and could become my best doggy self. Are you the family for me? I always have a happy face for my human and just love to be near you! Belly rubs are my absolute favorite! Foster mom says that she can tell that I just want to please the humans…get the cuddles…and eat all the treats! I would do great with any family who likes to be outdoors and/or active and who wants to help train me to be my best self. I would be ok being the only dog in the household and soak up all the love for myself! Fill out an app to meet me…you won’t be disappointed!
