Original: Abby and her sister Dede were taken to the shelter because their owner didn’t have time for them. In their previous home they were around children from age toddler to teen. They also lived with cats.
Dede is a very loving girl. She gets along well with her sister and foster family’s dog. She can be a little possessive with toys. She is also very good around the children in the foster home (ages 7, 12 and 15). She is very friendly to everyone she meets. She is housebroken and crate trained, although she does not like to go into her crate, once she is in, she is fine. She does pull on the leash and likes to chase rabbits when she sees them. In her previous home she was gated in the kitchen when alone. The foster family crates her but she could probably have the run of the house with no problem. She is a little weak in the command department but does know sit. She does not jump but does sit and puts her two front paws up. When she is outside, she stays close to her family and will come when called if she wanders off a little. She is not really good at catch but likes to play chase with the other dogs.
Dede came to the shelter with extremely long hair and plenty of mats. One of our volunteers has given her a haircut and she is much more comfortable. She is being treated for infected ears and is scheduled to have a lump removed from her front paw on Aug. 15th.
Dede loves to have her ears scratched, go for walks or lie quietly around the house. Is Dede the Springer for you?
