2/27/2023 Foster Feedback: Joelle has been with us for over 3 weeks and is such a sweet girl. She is fully potty trained and now kenneled trained, too! She will walk right in when you say “Kennel up” and wait for her treat. Joelle absolutely loves other dogs and would do well in a home with another playful dog. She can come on a little strong at first and bark if the other dog doesn’t want to play with her. It took a couple of days for both of our dogs to realize she just wants to play but now that they have, they have so much fun with her! She’s met our two neighbor dogs and did great with them, too.

Joelle can be shy with new people but once she warms up, she will follow you everywhere. She’s obsessed with the shower and likes to wait for whoever is in there to get out (and sometimes peek her head in to make sure all is ok in there). She also likes to cuddle and she curls into the cutest ball on blankets. 

Once Joelle knows you’re safe, she gets extremely excited if you’ve left and come back. We’ve been working on having her remain calm in her kennel before we let her out, but she does get so happy to see you, she jumps and can be “puppy-ish mouthy”, which is why we recommend older children only. This has gotten a little better in the last week or so with redirecting her, and I think she would really benefit from and enjoy taking obedience classes with her adopter. This sweet girl is almost 11 months old and would love to celebrate her 1st birthday in a home of her own!
 

2/6/2023 Foster Feedback: My favorite thing about Joelle is that she is always down for a cuddle! She knows when you are working hard and finally have time for a break, she then comes up to you and sits in your lap to give you a hug. Currently as I’m writing this she is snoozing away, dreaming of the perfect family who is going to take her home. We have made progress on her kennel training. She will now go into the kennel for a treat, but once she sees that door moves, she’s out of there. Don’t let that scare you at all! She is perfect free roaming while you are away at work. She doesn’t have any accidents or get into anything inappropriate. She just eagerly waits for you to return home, so she can show you how much she missed you! She’s completely potty trained and will pace to the door and back to you until you let her out. She would love to have another dog play buddy because she LOVES to play. When she wants my dog to play with her, she grabs a toy and drags it on my dog’s body until she finally plays with her. She knows there’s a family that is perfect for her, maybe that is you?!

12/23/2022 Foster Feedback: Joelle surprised us because we thought we were getting an 8-year-old dog but instead she was 9 ½ months! She certainly acts like a puppy but is well-behaved for her age. She can be skittish around new people but quickly warms up to them. She is the best playmate for a dog buddy! She is cat friendly but will follow a dog if they chase a cat. She has been around a newborn baby and young kids and loved every minute of it. She was very gentle with the newborn and gave many kisses. Since she is a puppy she can be mouthy whenever excited but can easily be redirected. Her favorite thing to do is to be by people. She does not like to be left out and will let you know about it. She makes sure everything you do is with a dog, she is a great supervisor and will let you slack off as long as you give her cuddles and kisses. She is potty trained but will occasionally have an accident when we are not paying attention. If everyone is downstairs and we hear her go upstairs, it's time to take her outside. She does not like her crate but we are working on the crate being a safe space for her. We have not had any issues with her free roaming. At night she likes to sleep right next to you under the blanket. She is the best-heated blanket you could have. Anyone who takes this lovely girl will never be cold ever again!
