Foster Home Feedback

1/16/24 Foster Feedback: We have been fostering Michigan for about 3 months now. She is learning all about what a loving, dog friendly home has to offer!
11/22/23 Foster Feedback: Michigan has been with us for about a month. We are seeing her become comfortable with new people faster than when we first met! Once she is comfortable with you, she is incredibly sweet and playful! She loves car rides, walks, play time in the backyard, belly rubs, chew toys and playing with dog friends!
It didn’t take her long to be comfortable with our 2 older dogs. She respects the elderly dog and doesn’t try to initiate play. She seems to understand that one dog will play and the other will not.
She has attended events at Natural Pet Center and Valley Imports. A steady supply of treats from her foster mom and people she meets helps her excel at these events. She doesn’t feel like meeting the other dogs at these events, preferring to focus on treats from her new human friends! She even posed by a couple beautiful cars at Valley Imports!
We have attended a couple classes at Wags and she is so smart! Being treat motivated makes training a breeze! She aims to please for cheese!
She is fully potty trained, sleeps through the night and is content to stay in her kennel when we are gone.
Do you have room in your heart and home for this little sweetheart?!? Did I mention her wagging tail?!? When she is laying down, resting and one of her favorite people nears, she subtly exposes her belly and then you hear her tail start thumping! She is so excited to receive love and belly rubs from you she can’t control her tail! It’s adorable!
11/16/2023 Temporary Care Feedback: Michigan is a sweet girl that is waiting to find her forever home. She is a little shy at first, but once she knows that she can trust you she is so loyal and wants to be your best friend. She loves to go out and play and enjoys belly scratches. All she wants is someone to love her and make her feel safe! She will do the same for you!
09/08/2023 Foster Feedback: Meet Michigan, a well-mannered and affectionate companion. This sweet pup is not only potty trained but also kennel trained, making her a breeze to care for. She's a mixed bag when it comes to cats – while she's generally good with them, her playful instincts might lead to an occasional chase. At night, she peacefully sleeps in her kennel, ensuring a restful night for everyone. With other dogs, she's a friendly playmate, but it may take a little time for her to warm up to new furry friends, so slow introductions are key. Around people, she tends to be cautious initially, but once she trusts you, her loving nature shines through. Michigan can be a bit mouthy at times, a behavior that might not be suitable for very young children. Therefore, a home who can understand and work with her on this aspect of her behavior would be ideal. With the right guidance and patience, she's sure to become an even more delightful addition to your family, providing love and companionship for years to come.
