She had destroyed a couch, shoes, make up and anything that is not put away. She will not do this behavior when family is home. Since she eats all of her toys, she is only given greenies dental chews to play with. She is not afraid of loud noises. Kanny will let you take her food toys and treats away.

A volunteer writes: “She loves to sleep in the bed with her human. She has her own side of the bed with a pillow and will not sleep until she is tucked into the covers”. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww… Stunning puppy Kanny was surrendered to our care as her family is moving without her. Who is going to tuck her in at night? We’re told that she’s been around children and toddlers of all ages and is exuberant, sometimes jumping on people in greeting. She lived with her litter mate and played well, but had not been introduced to other dogs until joining us. Kanny doesn’t guard her things, is puppy energetic, and can be destructive when left alone. Puppy training, anyone? Kanny is a stunning little girl, well fed, her pristine white coat shines with good care, her eyes sparkle, she wags her tail at every dog we pass in the park, sits for treats and takes them gently, her leash manners are lovely and she’s all about being a puppy…as she should be! Puppies need structure, guidance, boundaries, exercise and love…to be everything they should be. In her first playdate with us, she mostly sought the attention of the handlers, offering strong correction to the helper dog. Of course, having lived with her litter mate as we were told, and never introduced to other dogs, any new interaction will take some time. Like human children, puppies want to learn, and look to us as their source of all things. She’s on her way to being an awesome adult dog and just needs the right person or family to guide her the rest of the way. And besides, she needs someone to tuck her in at night. And perhaps read her a bedtime story? Goodnight Moon. Come meet Kanny today.
