SUGAR - PEKINGESE DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Pekingese. Sugar is a devoted, gentle Pekingese who lives up to her sweet name. At 14 lbs and 9 years old, she's calm in the house, well-mannered, and happiest when she’s right by her person’s side. Once she bonds with you, she’s incredibly loyal and keeps a quiet, loving watch over her home. Sugar is fully house-trained and does great letting you know when she needs to go out. She doesn’t love being confined in a closed crate, but she happily chooses to sleep in her crate when it’s left open and does well overnight in a quiet laundry area. While she doesn’t love being left behind, she tolerates alone time reasonably well and would thrive most in a home where she can spend plenty of time with her human. Her favorite activity is going for walks, where she often leads the way and can easily handle a couple of miles. She's also done well on a tie-out in the yard. At home, she’s calm and relaxed. She'll sit up on her haunches and gaze at you with big, expressive eyes when she’s hoping for a treat. She loves belly rubs, ear scratches, and treats, but isn’t interested in toys. Sugar loves meeting other dogs and would love to be part of a pack, even though she acts a little tough at first. She does have a bit of a “watchdog” side and may bark to announce that she’s on duty, especially when she goes outside. She does not have experience with cats or with kids, so a proper introduction is recommended. If you’re looking for a buddy to walk by your side and curl up close, Sugar is ready to be your loyal shadow and best friend.
