Artie is a fun-loving, high-energy girl who is always ready for her next adventure! Whether it's a long game of fetch, a run in the yard, or zooming around the house with her favorite toys, Artie brings enthusiasm and joy wherever she goes. She's incredibly smart, playful, and affectionate, and she absolutely loves people. Meeting new friends is one of her favorite things, and she greets strangers with pure excitement and a wagging tail. Artie is independent, outgoing, curious, and wonderfully silly. She's the kind of dog who will make you laugh daily, keep you moving, and then curl up beside you for snuggles at the end of the day. She's ready to find her forever family and bring her big personality and even bigger heart into a loving home.
Ideal Home
Artie thrives in an active environment and will do best with a family that enjoys walks, playtime, and outdoor activities. A yard or open space to run would be a huge bonus. While she has done well with large dogs, slow introductions are important. She has not been around cats and hasn't spent time with children yet, but her friendly and affectionate personality suggests she could do well with proper introductions.
Ongoing Health
Artie is spayed and up to date on vaccinations.
Training & Support
Artie is house trained and crate trained. She may whine a bit when crated but settles quickly. She should continue to be crated when left alone as she is curious and can get into things on counters if unsupervised. On leash, she may bark or pull when she sees other dogs, so continued training will help her polish those manners. She can be a little on edge at first and is protective of her toys, but she backs off quickly and has never escalated beyond that. Her ideal home would be patient and ready to continue her training, especially helping her learn to settle calmly and share toys more comfortably.
