Artie is a fun-loving, high-energy 3-year-old Terrier mix who is always ready for her next adventure! Weighing 32 pounds, this sweet girl is incredibly smart, playful, and affectionate. She absolutely loves people and greets strangers with pure excitement and a wagging tail. Artie thrives on fun and games, whether it's a long game of fetch, a run in the yard, or zooming around the house with her favorite toys. 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.
Ideal Home
Artie would do best in an active home with a family that enjoys walks, playtime, and outdoor activities. She has done well with large dogs (50-100 lbs) in her foster home, though slow introductions are important. While she doesn't need another dog, she would likely enjoy a playful canine companion. Her ideal home would also be patient and ready to continue her training, especially helping her learn to settle calmly and share toys more comfortably. A yard or open space to run would be a huge bonus.
Ongoing Health
Artie is spayed and up to date on vaccinations.
Training & Support
Artie is house trained and crate trained, sleeping in her crate at night and staying crated about 4-6 hours during the day. She may whine a bit initially but settles. It is recommended she continues to be crated when left alone, as she is curious and can get into things 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. She also recognizes when another dog is done playing. She eats separately from other pets currently, though she has shown no food guarding toward people.
