Kacee

My story

Meet Kacee! Say hello to Kacee, a 8-month-old, 31 lb. mixed breed pup who might have a bit of Collie in her lineage—and definitely has a heart full of love. Found as a stray down in Alabama, she’s now getting her first real taste of home life in foster care and slowly learning that the world isn’t so scary after all.In her local foster home, Kacee is doing great with house training and crate training, but leash walking is still a brand-new concept for her. She is very shy and will need an experienced, patient adopter who understands that trust takes time. Because of this, a fenced-in yard is a must, as she’s not yet comfortable on walks and feels safest in secure outdoor spaces.Kacee gains a lot of confidence from her canine companions, so she would do best in a home with at least one playful, dog-social pup to help show her the ropes. She could also go to a home with cats and teenagers who can give her the gentle encouragement she needs.If you’ve got a soft spot for the underdog and the patience to help a timid pup blossom, Kacee is ready to find safety and love in your home.Her foster says, `Kacee is very sweet and loving! She loves to be outside! If it was up to her she would spend all day every day outside. She watches the birds and butterflies and naps! She is crate trained but does whine a little bit. She does eventually quiet down. She is almost potty trained with very few accidents! The leash training has been a challenge. I think it scares her. She will need more work on that. She sleeps on her crate blanket during the day and at night. It gives her comfort. She does have food and toy guarding. She just grumbles when one of the other dogs get too close while she has a toy. I feed her by herself in a room with a puppy gate, but if one of the other dogs come to the door she will grumble. She has never gotten aggressive with any of the other dogs. She loves our cat Milo! They get along great! She needs a quiet home by herself or with a cat. She needs lots of love and affection with positive reinforcement. She loves feeding time and treats too! With time she will be a great addition to a family!`She is available for adoption by appointment in Hopkinton, MA.
