My story

var switchTo5x=false;stLight.options({publisher:'56e40c2a-2928-4a92-9903-c88366473aa8'}); If you would like to provide this dog a loving home, please fill out a pre-adoption application.  Have a question? Please read our Frequently Asked Questions and Adoption Processed Explained documentation. _________ B I O ______________  Name: Fajita Size:  Large range:  61-100 lbs  Adoption Donation:&#226&#128&#175$250 (applicable sales tax included) Adoption fees may be paid by cash or check.&#226&#128&#175  Other:&#226&#128&#175Spayed Female, Vaccinations current, Microchip    Fajita  is sizzling with love and ready for her next chapter   Foster Home Feedback  3/7/25 Foster Feedback: Have you ever wanted to own every single dog breed all at once? Fajita may be your chance. I can't get a bead on the predominant breed she is, but that doesn't stop her from being a wonderful doggo. Fajita gets along with everyone- she loves playing with my resident pit bull and has been very friendly with all the people and dogs she has met- this girl wags her whole body as she is so happy to meet you. I can't attest to how she would be with children, but my feeling is she would be fine. She does get excited- she may jump, and she can be a teeny bit mouthy when trying to play, but only if you let her get away with it. We cat-tested her and while she was curious, she redirected very easily. Conversely, she does love to chase the bunnies out of the yard. I think she would love a dog friend to play with. Fajita loads into and out of the car no problem. She will whine a bit at first but eventually settles down. She is also possibly the best treat taker I have ever encountered- she knows to sit to get her treats and takes them from your fingers very gently. She sits nicely to wait for her food and will wait for the okay to start eating. She was shedding fairly heavily when I first got her, but that has tapered off- I think she was transitioning to being an indoor dog, so shedding that outdoor coat. She does love to be brushed, and we are working on handling her feet so that nail trimming is easier.  Most of the time she thinks I want to play with her when I hold her paw, so we have to wait until she holds still and makes eye contact before I let her foot go. Rinse and repeat.  Fajita LOVES her toys and bones- you will absolutely need to keep some things for her to chew on and play with. She is not the worst toy destroyer I've had but she does love pulling the fluff out of her stuffies. I have had no problem with her destroying things that she shouldn't- from time to time I might find one of my shoes in an odd place if I forget to put them away but she has not destroyed any of them.  Fajita has sniffed at some of my plants and started to nibble on one once, but I caught her right away, corrected her, and she hasn't touched it since. Overall, she is trusted to roam the house when I am not home, and sleeps on the bed with me overnight, although sometimes she prefers to stay by herself on the dog bed in the office. Her last fosters preferred to crate her overnight and while they were away, which worked fine- she will head right into the crate with a peanut butter kong, no problems.  BUT she is incredibly cuddly- wants to be wherever you are and loves cozying up on the couch with her people. I do have to keep Fajita out of my basement level because for some reason she will pee down there if she gets the chance. I gate that area off with a baby gate and that has solved that problem. The last downside I want to mention is that her leash manners leave something to be desired- she will pull and fight the collar/ harness. However, this is manageable. It has not stopped me from taking her to the vet or the 4 Luv facility or wherever, and she is so smart I am sure this could be trained out of her.  Fajita might bark at the vacuum (either Roomba or upright) but she is unafraid. She may also bark at passersby on the street but this is infrequent. I work from home, and she is a great "coworker"- fantastic at entertaining herself during the day, either napping or playing with her toys or with my resident dog. Overall, Fajita is still a dog in progress for the reasons I've mentioned above, but her wonderful temperament is a great jumping off point. I think with time and responsible leadership she will be someone's perfect companion.  To view additional dogs available for adoption, please see our website: www.4luvofdog.org June 1, 2025, 12:27 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Fajita, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
