Artie is a 3-year-old, 32-pound Terrier mix who is as fun-loving as she is energetic! This smart, playful, and affectionate girl is always ready for an adventure, whether it's a game of fetch, a romp in the yard, or just zooming around the house with her favorite toys. Artie greets new people with pure excitement and a wagging tail, making friends wherever she goes. She's independent, outgoing, curious, and wonderfully silly, guaranteed to make you laugh daily while also being your perfect snuggle buddy after a good play session.
Ideal Home
Artie thrives in an active environment and would 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. While she doesn't require another dog, she would likely enjoy a playful canine companion. 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. She may whine a bit when crated but settles. She should continue to be crated when left alone, as she is curious. 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. Artie eats separately from other pets currently, though she has shown no food guarding toward people and typically backs off if another dog has something she wants. 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.
