es. As with any puppy, though, she has quite a bit of youthful energy and a lot to learn about how to live in a home. OTHER PETS: Squeakers was interested in meeting other dogs, but can be anxious if they're too forward or pushy. She would likely do well in a home with a relaxed, well-socialized dog with the patience for a yongster. [Case-By-Case (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Squeakers is still currently on a refeeding plan to help her regain some weight, and has some anatomical oddities in her back legs that will likely require a good relationship with a vet throughout her life. She would do best with someone that has an established relationship with a primary vet. [Some Experience] KIDS: Squeakers is very excited to meet new people, and that often presents with her jumping all over someone in an effort to get as close as possible. She has also shown some mild signs of resource guarding--eating faster when she's approached--and will likely do best around older kids that are able to understand how to interact with her and when to let her have her own space. Interactions with minors should be actively supervised for everyone's safety. [13+ (Must Meet First)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Squeakers is a puppy with quite a bit of energy! She would do well with various kinds of both physical and mental enrichment in order to match her needs. She's a dog that will need both her body and mind to be settled before she's ready to willingly take a break, or she may try to make her own fun. [Good Walking Buddy / Olympic Athlete] VETERINARY CARE: One of the first things you'll notice about Squeakers--after she's done jumping into your lap and getting as close as possible--is her posture and back legs. She doesn't quite fully extend her back legs while standing, and while this could be a result of something genetic or environmental, she will likely need more intensive vet care as she continues to grow. [Above Average] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Squeakers is just beginning to learn new skills and fun tricks, and will do best learning with someone who can offer patience while she adjusts. Positive reinforcement will help Squeakers not only learn some fun cues but also help her to feel more comfortable and confident in herself! It will provide a good opportunity for her to bond with her new owner as well. [Intense] GROOMING: Routine brushing will help to minimize shedding in the home. [Minimal]
