Essen

My story

Hello! My name is Essen!I`m a big sweetheart and always start my day with snuggles in bed with foster mom! I love sniffing on walks and burn a lot of brain energy that way! Loose something? I can probably sniff it out with my nose! I do seem to have a strong prey drive, and know where all the neighborhood rabbits live, in case you need to find them. I do well being left alone for periods of time and am crate trained. I am friendly meeting new people. Some odd things cause me to be nervous like leaf blowers and vacuum cleaners but my foster mom is doing a pretty good job showing me that these things aren`t actually anything to be scared of!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES…CHILDREN: Teenagers should be ok. Young children wouldn`t be ideal as I can be sensitive to too much commotion. OTHER DOGS: Potentially, while I may bark at them on leash, I seem to enjoy playing with some dogs off leash. CATS: No, due to my prey drive.FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: No, I would do best in a home that has dog experience.FENCED-IN YARD: Highly recommended.HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: No apartment buildings as I don`t love when dogs come into my personal bubble on leash.SOMEONE HOME MOST OF THE DAY: Not necessarily. I do well home alone.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME…ACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium.HOUSE-TRAINED: Yes, but expect some accidents as I settle into a new routine.If you think I could be a good match for your home, click the “Adopt Me” button to apply!
