Miley

My story

Meet Miley! ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 45 lbs ESTIMATED AGE: 1 year KNOWN WITH DOGS: Miley is a playful spirit at heart. She was previously in foster care with 2 other dogs and while they tolerated her, she didn't pick up on their social ques when they are done playing. She is just strong willed and persistent and would do well with other dogs who are forgiving to her for that and willing to play. KNOWN WITH CATS: Miley previously lived with 2 cats in foster and while she would come on pretty strong initially, she learned to respect that they didn't want to play. KNOWN WITH KIDS: Miley would do best in an adult only home. KNOWN COMMANDS: Basics: Sit; Miley training will always be a work in progress, but she enjoys toys and treats so with the right motivation from her family she will be a quick learner! KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: She IS crate trained and has exceeded all expectations in that area. Her current fosters do utilize the crate for BG at night time so one of their more nervous cats can roam around with out any interruptions. KNOWN LIKES: Miley enjoys the great outdoors! She loves being outside, going for walks and playing fetch. She also just enjoys being included in what you are doing and being part of the family. Her favorite things to do in her down time would be to chew on hard toys and being the doggy police against any furry squirrels or birds that enter her yard. KNOWN DISLIKES: We haven't exactly come across much she doesn't like. She really is a well rounded dog! If we HAD to pick something, we would say she doesn't like strangers? She does show a natural protective instinct and isn't afraid to to be the leader on walks or meeting strangers to ensure good vibes/people only coming into her home. ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Notes from the foster: Miley is a really sweet happy dog. It turns out she is a HUGE ball dog- not sure if that is just innate or fostered by her previous owner? She will fetch and bring it back and drop it, she is also really good at catching things in the air (mostly stuffed animal dog toys!). She LOVES attention and being pet. She has been very curious about things on walks- other people, dogs out walking with their people, but she seems like she is really adjusting pretty easily to what is 'normal' here. She will bark her guard dog bark if a noise wakes her up unexpectedly, or someone is at the door, but she will just run over and sniff whoever comes in (it has only been our family so far), realize she knows them, and get excited for pets.
