Ita

My story

Meet Ita!  Ita is a tiny but mighty Wiredhair Terrier. Ita is extremely smart and picks up on cues quickly. She watches you for guidance and thrives on praise. She loves tummy rubs and cuddles. It is funny to watch her pounce after flying bugs in the backyard as well as run and leap.  Ita plays tug of war with her toys and chases her ball. Ita plays hard then rests like a little angel cuddled in her bed. Ita gets excited for her morning walk and struts with confidence through the neighborhood. She walks well on a leash and keeps up with the pace of other dogs. As she walks, she observes her surroundings and makes protective growls/barks. She has made a great deal of progress in minimizing her barking when visitor enter the house.  In addition, Ita is responding well to the cue of a training clicker and the following commands: sit, drop it, down, and out (to keep her out of the busy section of the kitchen). Ita is working hard at getting potty trained, and knows she is typically given a treat when she goes on the grass. In case you forget, she will enter the home and point you towards the treat jar.  Ita and her sister, Gigi, enjoy each other, play well together, and keep each other company. Watching them wrestle and chase after each other is extremely entertaining, and I can’t imagine them not being together.  We have a larger female dog, and both Ita and Gigi get along well with her. It is our hope to home them together as a bonded pair. If interested please fill out an adoption application on valleydogs.org or email the following contact: adopt@valleydogs.org (Adoption fee is 500 for both dogs)
