Addie

​ADDIE is an approximately 9-month-old female, large-breed mix. She came to us through the pound, so we don't have much background history on her. Addie currently weighs 63 lbs and will likely still fill out a little more as she grows.
​Addie is a fun, engaging young dog who thrives with firm boundaries and plenty of stimulation. She is looking for a family that wants to spend a lot of quality time with their dog—from outdoor adventures to structured training time, Addie loves it all!
​Energy & Exercise
​She is a medium-to-high energy dog who will fully embrace any outdoor activity. However, she should hold off on high-impact sports (like running or mountain biking) until her joints have fully matured.
​Training & Behavior
​Addie is a highly intelligent girl who is soaking up everything we teach her. She already has a solid sit, wait, and down, and she can even spin in both directions!
​On the Leash: Addie walks well on a leash when she is kept under control. If she is allowed to get too rowdy while out walking, she will go into full play-mode and try to tug on the leash, your sleeves, or whatever else she can find. Because of this, she does best with strict rules while walking, saving her high-energy playtime for the yard after her exercise.
​Social Life & Companionship
​Kids: Addie enjoys children, but she will do best with older kids or heavily supervised visits until she is through her puppy stage and learns that humans can't be played with in the same rough-and-tumble fashion as other dogs.
​Dogs: She has been excellent with every dog we have introduced her to. She plays very respectfully and is able to just chill out when hanging out with calmer dogs.
​Cats: Addie must have been put in her place by a cat in the past, as she was incredibly respectful of them during her cat test! She should easily fit into a home with other animals.
​Health & Shelter Manners
​Addie has been completely clean and non-destructive in her kennel while alone at the shelter. She is already spayed, vaccinated, and up-to-date on parasite control.
