Adopt Maybelline a White Australian Shepherd / Mixed Breed (Medium) / Mixed

Location:

Columbus, IN

Description:

Maybelline is currently in a foster home so an approved application and appointment is required to meet her! Here's what her foster has to say about her: "She doesn't bark. She stops to say hi to dogs on walks but then keeps on going, no barking at strangers or dogs from far away! She goes in her crate every night with no accidents or crying, and kind of knows the routine now for bedtime! She has taken an interest in our cats but she doesn't chase them or try to play, more just checking them out - she got hissed at once and left the room. She knows sit very well! She also kind of heels on walks, but we're working on loose leash walking because she will lunge out of nowhere to sniff more. She is a little nervous on walks. Cars and anything that revs will send her into pancake mode until they pass by, so we've been giving her treats and praising her when she gets back up or when she just keeps walking. She also is getting rewarded for getting in the car as we drive to the park, and this was scary for her at first but seeing our dog jump in helps. Once she's in she loves to just sit and look out the window! I think doors are scary for her, as she reacts the same way when coming back inside of the door isn't already open. She did interact with a child this weekend and was so gentle and just sat while they pet her head, she's very gentle with our dog too and they've been sharing beds, toys, etc. The closest to herding we've seen is she may nudge our dog with her nose lightly to stay on the bed with her, and taking all the toys she can find and putting them in their bed as well. She loves a good Kong and our puzzle toys! Maybelline is practically perfect!"
