Meet Susan, a beautiful and intelligent pup ready to blossom in the right home! Currently in foster care, Susan has made remarkable progress in overcoming her initial fears and anxieties. Living with four other dogs of various sizes and personalities, Susan gets along well with all of them, showing an eagerness to play and interact while respecting their cues.

Susan has conquered her fears of walking on a leash and now walks nicely, checking in with her foster parent for cues and demonstrating a positive response to praise. She still experiences some anxiety with new and loud stimuli, but with patience and positive reinforcement, Susan continues to build confidence.

In the home, Susan is polite and respectful, enjoying her crate as a safe space where she eats, sleeps, and finds comfort. She is house-trained with no accidents, showing her commitment to maintaining a clean living space. Susan seeks human affection, displaying joy and excitement in the morning with tail wags, nose nudges, and little kisses.

Susan's unique qualities, including her alertness, beauty, and ideal size, make her stand out to potential adopters, especially those familiar with and fond of cattle dogs. If you're looking for a loving companion who has come a long way in her journey to happiness, Susan is ready to bring joy and love to your home.
