Artie

Artie is a 3-year-old, spayed female Terrier mix weighing around 32 pounds. She's a fun-loving, high-energy girl who's always up for an adventure! Whether it's a game of fetch, a run in the yard, or zooming around with her toys, Artie brings enthusiasm and joy. She's incredibly smart, playful, and affectionate, and she absolutely loves meeting new people with a wagging tail and pure excitement. Artie is curious, outgoing, and wonderfully silly, ready to make you laugh daily, keep you moving, and then cuddle up for snuggles.

Ideal Home

Artie thrives in an active environment and will do best 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. Her ideal home would be active, 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. While she doesn't need another dog, she would likely enjoy a playful canine companion. 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 house-trained and crate-trained. She sleeps in her crate at night and is crated for about 4-6 hours during the day, settling after some initial whining. She rides well in the car and handles stairs with no problem. Artie should continue to be crated when left alone as she is curious and can get into things on counters if unsupervised.

Training & Support

Artie 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. On leash, she may bark or pull when she sees other dogs, so continued training will help her polish those manners. She eats separately from other pets currently, though she has shown no food guarding toward people.
