A staff member writes: Let me jump on the LL bandwagon here and tell you how hot I felt walking down the street with this silver streak girl who has a perfectly fit body and an open, friendly face. She was easy to walk on a leash, very receptive to requests to slow down or speed up (when she was investigating some smell ad infinitum). She hadn’t been walked in quite a few hours when I took her to the backyard for a little playtime. Amazingly, she “held it” until after we played and we went out to the street. It was only there that she did her business. Talk about housebroken! She’s a gorgeous girl and, although I am not sure she is fond of other dogs, she seems to give them a warning to back off without needing to “get into it.” I can’t wait to spend more time with her. But if you come get her before that time, that would be even better.

A staff member updates: Need to light up your room? Lady Lorax’s megawatt smile will do just that! She has that amazing ear to ear smile that pit bull’s are known for, and she loves to use it! I knew Lady Lorax when she was our guest the first time, cheered when she was adopted, and am now saddened to see her back. Brought back for “no time”, we know that Lady Lorax has lived with children but can play a bit rough for the little ones. She’s been gorgeously taken care of, her coat clean and groomed, her weight solid, and when she wiggles her butt knowing she’s going for a walk it’s a sight to see! She pulls on the leash at first – excitement at going out and her need to go potty, and once her business is done her leash manners are lovely. She sits when asked, takes treats gently, loves to snuggle and her tail never stops wagging. Joining me on the park bench for a cuddle fest, we were so engaged in each other one passerby yelled out, “get a room”!!! Funny guy! Our girl would be voted “Miss Personality” if we were in school and indeed, she has an effervescent, outgoing personality. Looking for her new family, she’s ready to snuggle, play and love and she does it all with enthusiasm! Come meet her today.

A volunteer writes:   She’s gorgeous!!!  But not just a pretty face….a gorgeous personality, fun, playful, affectionate and friendly.  Surrendered to our care by her short term family as she plays too rough for the young children in the home, sometimes knocking them over when she played. We’re told she’s housetrained, can be a little mouthy (no pressure) when playing, is energetic and affectionate.  Lady L and I went out for a walk where she showed off her housetraining skills and nice leash manners.  In the yard she chases a ball but doesn’t retrieve, ignores other dogs passing our pen, shows off her sit and takes treats gently.   Joining me on the bench for some kisses, Lady L happily drapes herself over my lap for some quality cuddle time.   Beautifully groomed, social and friendly, Lady L would like to meet an active person or family for exercise, love and cuddles.  She kissed the intake staff during the process and lay down froggy style for her intake picture all of which is pretty impressive! She’s young, relaxed and friendly looking for her soul mate. Lorax is a Dr. Seuss children’s book and one of the characters says:  “I know it may seem small and insignificant, but it’s not about what it is, it’s about what it can become”.  We are looking forward to what it can become for our Lady….a forever home with an adoring family.  Ask to meet her when you visit.

PROFILE:

Lady is a 2 year old American Staffordshire Terrier mix. Her family got her from her previous owner 1 month ago. They surrendered her because she’s too active, due to lack of time, and due to child conflict.

Lady is friendly/outgoing with new people. She lived with 3 small children and played rough with them. She would jump up and knock them over. She sometimes mouths people while playing (putting her mouth on them but not biting down). She would chew at the children’s sneakers and take food from their hands. She hasn’t bit a person or animal and hasn’t broken skin.

Lady is friendly, affectionate, playful, excitable, and high energy. Her family didn’t have time to train or walk and play with her regularly. She was housetrained and would try to “hold it” until she went outside, and would potty on walks.

Lady had a super loose, wiggly body, open mouth, and wagging tail while we pet her, scanned her (+), collared her, positioned her for pictures, picked her up, and walked her. She lied on the backdrop on her abdomen with her legs extended in front of and behind her. She jumped up and leaned into us while we pet her. She licked us.

BEHAVIOR:

Lady Lorax pulls a bit on the leash.  She was calm and relaxed during handling. Lady Lorax was distracted, focused on objects in the room rather than the handler during the tag test. She was not interested in toys.

BEHAVIOR : JUNE 2016

Lady Lorax came into our center as an owner surrender. It is reported she lived with 3 small children and played rough with them, jumping up playfully but knocking them over. At times Lady Lorax reportedly mouthed with no pressure and chewed the children’s sneakers. Owner reports Lady Lorax is housetrained. She is described as friendly, affectionate, playful, excitable, and high energy. During intake, Lady Lorax was friendly and allowed all handling with very loose, wiggly body. Lady Lorax pulled a bit on leash during her relief walk. She pulled out of assessor’s hands on all three Look attempts. Lady Lorax leaned into assessor during Sensitivity item, lip lick, body soft, tail wagging. She became very excited during Tag game, jumping hard, mouthing no pressure, difficult to settle at end. Lady Lorax pulled her paw back on both Squeeze attempts, licked assessor’s hand. She showed minimal interest in Toy. When off leash with other dogs, Lady Lorax allows greeting, and eventually offers a brief bow. The Behavior Team feels Lady Lorax would do well with an Experienced adopter. She may benefit from obedience classes to learn leash manners as well as focus/not to jump up.

When the gate is opened she stiffens and offers an over correction (growls/barks and follows through until helper dog walks away) when solicited. She then greets a female through the gate
and stiffens, growls and snaps at her.

4/10 update: Lady Lorax greets a male dog with a neutral body through the fence. When introduced, she begins to solicit pushy play, though a bit tense and vocal throughout.
