Artie

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 3 years old, spayed, and a Terrier mix weighing 32 pounds. She's 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.

Ideal Home

Artie thrives in an active environment and will do best with a family that enjoys walks, playtime, and outdoor activities. Her ideal home would be active, patient, and ready to continue her training, especially helping her learn how 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 done well with large dogs (50-100 lbs) in her foster home, though 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 all 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, but she settles. Artie 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. She also recognizes when another dog is done playing.
