Meet Sugarplum (20240710-06)
Sugarplum is a cuddle bug and does love to be near her human. She came to us when both owners went to a nursing home and were unable to care for her. She adjusted quickly in her foster home.
Sugarplum is the perfect companion for any lifestyle. She is calm in the home with her current foster family and loves to play, snuggle, sleep and go for long walks and sometimes even runs.
While she loved other dogs for the first 4 years of her life, her previous home had an unfriendly dog that she didn't get along with. This caused her to become reactive to other dogs. She has completed a training series and has improved, but would benefit from additional support to become even better. She is fully house trained and crate trained.
She barks to alert people someone is at the door, but is mostly quiet in the home. She sleeps in her large, pink fluffy dog bed and loves to cuddle up on the furniture with her fosters when they are reading or watching Netflix.
In the home she is a wonderful and loving and very easy going pet. She is very smart and adaptable and would make a great dog for just about anyone who is willing to work with her leash reactivity towards other dogs. She seems to get used to some calmer and friendlier dogs her size or larger, when she is given the time to get to know them.
