BABY GIRL – A1074801

Girl):   Hi everyone!  My name is Baby Girl and I kind of like that name as it’s soft, sweet and loving – just like me!   I’m quiet in my kennel and so thrilled when I make a new friend named Volunteer and she takes me outside to go potty.  I’m housetrained and she laughed at how much business I took care of.  Oh well…..I like to keep my kennel clean.  I have wonderful leash manners and Volunteer kept telling me what a good girl I am and what a pleasure to walk.  That makes me happy and I smiled and wagged my tail.  On the way back into the building we met a driver who let me jump into the van to sit beside her and give kisses.  I loved that and we all laughed together.  In the backyard I showed Volunteer my ‘sit’, enjoyed the treats she gave me and I know how to take them very gently, loved being pet, and ran after a tennis ball she threw for me. I’ve been a mom a couple of times, and haven’t received the best of care so need some TLC for my coat and eyes, but nothing, nosiree nothing, stops me from being kind and loving to my person.   One of the staff people who likes me a lot spent his break cuddling with me because he loves me and tells everyone about me.  So, I’m Baby Girl, and looking to be your forever baby girl.  Won’t you come meet me and make me yours?  Life is good, and life together will be fantabulous!

BEHAVIOR – Experience Home No Children:

Baby Girl came into our center after a member of the public found her as a stray. She was friendly upon intake, allowed all handling. Baby Girl walked well on leash for her relief walk, no pulling. She was friendly and affectionate upon entering SAFER assessment room, jumping up, licking assessor’s face. Baby Girl allowed her head to be cupped in assessor’s hands, relaxed. She stood still and accepted the touch during Sensitivity item, open mouth, ears and tail neutral. Baby Girl followed at the end of the leash for Tag game, jumping up playfully towards end of game, settled easily. She did not pull her paw back on both Squeeze attempts. Baby Girl took Toy away, tense, growled when approached again. When off leash with other dogs, Baby Girl greets politely. The Behavior Team feels Baby Girl would do best with an Experienced adopter that does not have children. It should be noted that Baby Girl relinquished the Toy easily when traded up for a treat.
