Chicka was pulled from the euthanasia list @ Pinal County Animal Shelter. We do not know much about her history. From what we have seen, she is extremely people friendly. She loves attention and has shown no signs at all for human aggression. She has not been around children yet that we know of. She would likely do well with children because she is so people friendly, but a meet and greet with children would be best to see how she reacts to them. She does great with the dogs in her foster home right now. As all dogs go, some do not work well with each other so a meet and greet would be the best thing for her to make sure the dogs in her new forever home and her all get along. Chicka would blossom in a home that knows her breed. She is high energy and needs a family who will exercise her regularly. She has been around a cat in her foster home, but she needs to be monitored until she gets more used to them. She has chased the cat a few times, but she is easily called off. She loves chasing toys that are thrown for her. She is learning to bring the ball back after it is thrown. When she came to her foster home from the shelter, she had no idea how to play with other dogs. She thought they were attacking her when they tried to play with her. She had no idea how to relax in a house setting. She would pant, pace, and whine when loose in the house. She is now playing with her foster siblings and becoming more relaxed in a house environment. She loves water and biting at the water from the hose. She takes treats very gently. She will roll over for you to scratch her belly. She is crate trained and sleeps quietly through the night in her own crate. She has not had any accidents in the house at all- fully housebroken since day one of foster care. Chicka was almost euthanized at the shelter because space was limited and she was misunderstood. She needs a forever home that will teach her what it is to be a dog and not have to stress because she has never gotten the chance to be a dog. She needs a family who will love her and understand that she is not perfect but she tries so hard to please.
