Scully
Australian Shepard Mix | 7 Months Old | FemALe | 25 LBs
QUICK FACTS: ✔️ Good with dogs ✔️ Crate training in progress! ✔️ Potty training in progress! ✔️ Typical puppy! ✔️ Friendly! ✔️ Loves to snuggle!
Scully is a bundle of love, joy, and affection! A true snuggle bug, she is happiest when she can be with her people and playing with them. A good game of tug of war, fetch, or just sprawled across your lap chomping on a chew toy. Like any puppy, she forgets where her chew toy ends and your hand begins but is very easily redirected.
Her true desire is to make friends with everyone she meets including other dogs and cats. She's a smarty pants and very food and attention motivated so easy to train. She stays around amazingly well off leash and likes to hover around your feet. She is doing well with crate training insofar as going in the crate, however, she has strong and lengthy opinions on being left in her crate. At night, she has been good as long as she can see you or be near you. If leaving, give her a good stimulating puzzle bowl or lick pad and she will be occupied while you head out. Otherwise, she does bark and whine very loudly. She has been sensitive to loud noises (heavy car traffic, airplanes, lawn mowers) while on walks. Not reactive but scared and anxious. She can be a bit reactive to other dogs when she can hear them barking.
Potty training is still a work in progress. She has been able to go about 4 hours while in her crate but has had accidents inside the house. She often needs a bathroom break in the middle of the night. It's important to give her a chance to go outside when transitioning between activities (i.e. being let out of the crate, after playing, after eating, etc). She is getting better about going on command but often needs a short walk around the block to do all her business, but still isn't quite sure how to communicate that she needs to go out. None of this however is out of the ordinary for her age, and she has already made marked important in a few short weeks.
With her characteristic look of one ear on point and the other flopped, she will melt any heart and is going to make a very fortunate addition to any household.
