ADOPTED Trudy

Female, 4 yrs, 32 lbs

TRUDY is 4 years and 32 lbs of sweetness. She is easy going and lovely like her sister Mattie (also available with a very similar personality). She can often be found under mom’s chair feeling safe and loved. When she is not near mom, she may have headed out via the doggy door to enjoy the yard. She could be wandering alone, or hanging with her sister, or playing with her foster siblings. Other times she’ll just hang in her crate, door opened, just enjoying the warmth.

TRUDY and Mattie came from a place where there were lots of dogs and minimal human interaction. This may be why she likes her crate a little too much at times. TRUDY is likely to retreat to her crate if things get too loud or exciting. She is learning to trust her human foster family and will seek out love, attention and being petted. TRUDY is not 100% house-trained but is getting there. Training her to use the doggy door, and insuring she goes out regularly has helped minimize accidents in the house.

TRUDY really enjoys playing with the other dogs in the house and may also benefit from having other dogs with which to pal around and show her the ropes. TRUDY sleeps quietly in her crate through the night. She seems disinterested when it comes to the cats. Trudy seems to really want the adoration and approval of her humans.

With positive reinforcement, a calming demeanor and lots of love, TRUDY has made great strides. She needs to be crated or in a safe place when left alone when her family is away, as she can “find things to do,” much like a puppy that doesn’t know better. She would like her family to be quiet, gentle people, and perhaps people with experience with training and socializing. Her foster family, their visitors and the person who watches her foster family’s dogs when they are away all came away with that same conclusion: a calm, patient and loving family will make TRUDY the very best girl she can be.

TRUDY is micro-chipped, spayed, heart worm negative and on preventative, and up to date on vaccinations.
