TEACHER - FINNISH SPITZ / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Finnish Spitz / Mixed (medium coat). Meet Teacher: The Sweetheart of the Schoolyard. Teacher is a loving and gentle dog with a heart as big as her story. Found as a stray near a schoolyard, she was cared for by kind-hearted teachers and a janitor who fed her, while the kids showered her with love and playtime. But when summer break arrived, and the school emptied, Teacher was left behind—until she found her way to us! Now safe and thriving with her foster, Teacher continues to shine as the sweet, people-loving soul she’s always been. She lights up around both kids and adults, eager for affection and always ready to return it. Her calm, loving nature makes her a perfect companion for families, singles, or anyone looking for a devoted friend. She meets other dogs well, but doesn’t like to have other dogs in her face. She has met a cat once and didn’t have any reaction. She occasionally wants to play, but really prefers affection over playtime. Teacher is doing wonderful with her training — she’s learning basic commands, picking up polite manners, and figuring out that she can get all the love she wants without jumping up (though her excitement can still show through those happy paws!). She is house trained and is adjusting well to her crate. She sleeps in her crate at night and has spent a few hours in the crate while being left alone. She enjoys going for walks and doesn’t pull unless she sees a squirrel which catches her interest. She would benefit from continued basic obedience training. Above all, she wants nothing more than to be close to her people as their loyal shadow, snuggling close and sharing her boundless joy. If you’re looking for a gentle, kid-loving companion who’s eager to learn and love, Teacher is ready to be your star pupil. Adopt her today and let her bring her schoolyard charm to your family!
