My story

Ma'am is soaking up the world like a sponge. She's learning all kinds of things - how to meet new people, how to walk on leash, plus an excellent sit-stay. Ma'am came to us when her previous human was no longer able to take care of her. It's taken her a minute to catch her breath and adjust to the shelter, but she's making steady progress. With us, her body language is wiggly and loose and she is friendly and playful. Her energy is about an 8/10. Ma'am would be a good fit for someone willing to put in the time to help her thrive and learn. She's smart and she's loyal. She's also a tiny bit of a show off. With a little bit of praise and some consistent coaching, she is going to be a great dog. If you're open to taking a training class together, we know she'd love something like that. Ma'am is working on greeting new people politely and not jumping up for attention. But, it's hard, because PEOPLE ARE EXCITING! She grasps the concept of polite hellos, but she's still working on the execution, but we're getting there! As she's a work in progress, we think Ma'am needs an adult home with someone who will continue to work with her to help her develop and grow. The payoff is that you will be able to spend your life with a beautiful, curious, faithful friend.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Ma'am (I Need a Foster), please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
