Teresa

Teresa is such an affectionate girl! She loves being close to her human friends, seeking out their petting and belly rubs. Every morning she wakes up and if her foster dad is on the couch she snuggles into his chest to get petting - and purrs almost like a cat!

This energetic girl warmed up very quickly to her dad's other foster dog. She loves playing chase and tug-o-war with him most of the morning and playing with her squeaky toy. Then she'll lounge in the grass and go indoors to nap under a bed.

Teresa also loves going for walks. She can be excited to see people, dogs, big trucks, and vans and may woof at them. But she mainly likes sniffing around, rolling in the grass - and wishes she could chase lizards and squirrels. She can take a while to become comfortable with new people she meets but will settle down and become their friend.

At home, this confident girl is very treat-motivated and already understands basic commands, such as 'sit.' She does well when her foster is away from home, free-roaming and sitting by the front door or looking out the window. And she is house-trained.

Teresa will love a home with pet parents who can continue her leash-walk training, taking her out for those walks she enjoys. She also will have fun with a doggie playmate. She may prefer a home with just a few visitors since she takes some time to warm up to them. Do come meet her. When she does warm up, she'll purr like your kitty!
