179324 SKY FKA SPLITTY & 179323 FLEUR - UNKNOWN BREED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Unknown breed (short coat). Update from foster!: We started calling Splitty by a new name- Sky -and she seems to be answering to it. Fleur is starting to respond to her name too. Both dogs are absolute sweethearts. Sky loves to snuggle and loves to curl up with anyone and everyone. Fleur will be close by. They like to snuggle in the bed at night. Sky doesn't seem to care for toys much. She'd prefer just to snuggle. Fleur likes squeaky stuffy toys and balls and rubber squeakies. She will fetch. They do play with each other as well. They probably would be best with older kids because they're a little reckless when playing and will both lay on top of my kid and squish him a bit when they lay down on the couch or bed. They are gentle when taking treats. They do not show food or toy aggression but Sky has nipped if she thinks my kid is being too wild or getting too close to the person she's snuggling with. Fleur will finish her food and try and eat Sky's too if you don't watch her but sky doesn't seem to care. They're not trustworthy to be left free roaming. We have been crating them when leaving. Even when we are home they get caught eating random things and counter surfing. Fleur climbs on outside furniture (tables and the ac unit). Fleur seems to be potty-trained but Sky is not and frequently poops in the house even if she just went out an hour ago. Especially at night. Both have been great meeting strangers who came to visit including kids. Both have good leash skills and were easy to walk except when fleur saw another dog she went on alert. We have not tried them with other dogs since we have had them. SKY FKA SPLITTY - 1-5 years old, 50 pounds, needs time to warm up to you, seems dog social FLEUR - 1-5 years old, 40 pounds, dog tolerant, needs time to warm up to you With her black face literally split by a white thick line, newly named SPLITTY arrived as a stray with her doggie companion, FLEUR. Both have been very nervous behind the cage bars but are finally allowing us to meet them to show their true personalities. SPLITTY is the more confident of the two, approaching me in the yard, sniffing and then pretty much that was it! She would lean into me waiting for pets and attention. FLEUR, on the other hand, is taking longer to feel comfortable. She approached for sniffing but would back off even if I just turned to look at her. They both seemed more comfortable with the other respectful dogs in playgroup. SPLITTY seemed to tolerate the other dogs much more. She was pretty popular among several of the male dogs. FLEUR definitely was more nervous and anything more than quick sniff from a dog would garner her lifting her lips to show her teeth. They both enjoy treats and will need time getting used to a new home, family & routine.
