Kimber is a sweet little girl who was relinquished to a humane society when her Pennsylvania owners felt they could not give her the attention that she needed. Kimber found the shelter environment to be quite frightening and was incredibly nervous when she came to her foster home. However, she quickly came out of her shell with the assistance of the resident dogs and is now behaving like a typical, energetic and playful Springer puppy.
Although she is not a fan of the leash, Kimber does not pull. She will occasionally try to slip out of her collar if she doesn’t feel like following her foster mom’s lead; however, she responds quickly to correction and moves along. She does ride well in the car and enjoys her rawhide chews and a biscuit when her foster mom leaves for work in the morning. She goes into a kennel easily and since she still chews occasionally, this is the best option when she is at home unattended. Kimber has the run of the house when her foster mom is home. She seizes every opportunity to sneak up on the sofa or bed for a quick snuggle if she is allowed. She is not interested in the four cats at her foster home, although she will try to sample their food when she thinks her foster mom isn’t looking.
This charming girl did a have a little issue with submissive urination when she was first sprung from the shelter, but that has subsided as she has become comfortable in her foster home. Kimber will sit when told and her foster mom is working on other commands with her. She is amazingly affectionate and prefers to be close to people when at home – a little Springer shadow! Her foster mom feels that she would thrive in a forever home with other dogs, given the profound effect the resident dogs had on quickly drawing her out of her shell. This little pup is going to make some lucky family very happy!
