Blanche is quickly proving herself to be the playful, curious comedian of the Golden Girls. While she is still learning how to navigate a world that is completely new to her, her personality is blossoming more every day, and it is impossible not to smile when watching her discover life. In many ways, Blanche is still a puppy at heart. She is active, outgoing, playful, and always looking for something interesting to investigate. She loves running laps in the yard, playing with her dog friends, chasing toys, and exploring every inch of her environment with enthusiasm. Blanche has made incredible progress in learning to trust people and is beginning to genuinely enjoy human companionship and affection. She now leans into chest scratches, rolls over for belly rubs, and has started making awkward but incredibly sweet attempts to lay on the feet or legs of her favorite caregivers. Watching her seek comfort and connection from people is one of the most rewarding parts of her journey.
Ideal Home
Blanche requires another confident, well-adjusted dog in her future home. She thrives on canine companionship and learns naturally by watching other dogs. Blanche would do best in a home with older, calm, respectful children who understand that she is still learning about the world. Her future family should recognize that she can go from happy, playful, and confident to nervous and uncertain very quickly when faced with something unexpected.
Ongoing Health
Blanche is medically cleared and ready for a home.
Training & Support
When Blanche first arrived, she often had no concept of where she was going, leading to frequent collisions. She is learning, however, and is beginning to recognize boundaries. Blanche was initially fearful of toys being tossed, rolled, or moved toward her, but with the help of a helper dog, she now loves chasing and playing with toys. The same pattern has occurred with leash and harness training. Blanche also appears to require continued support with house training, and adopters should be prepared to approach this with patience, consistency, supervision, and positive reinforcement.

Transporation
Blanche is located at the shelter. We are actively searching for the right family and hope to begin meet-and-treat appointments soon. We anticipate Blanche will need several visits before she is ready to make the transition home, a minimum of three visits will be required, with more possible depending on progress.
