Etsy Bestie Your Lovey Dovey Bestie

Etsy Bestie is an absolute dream! She's a wonderfully sweet and loving girl who is eager to be everyone's best friend. She adores all the people she meets and will melt right into you for affection. With a heart of gold, Etsy radiates happiness and joy wherever she goes, and it's impossible not to smile when you're around her, especially when she looks at you with those big, soulful brown eyes and offers her sweet, innocent grin.

Etsy is believed to be a Cattle Dog/Pittie mix, around 2 years old, and weighs 52 lbs. As with any rescue, her exact breed and age cannot be guaranteed.

Ideal Home

Etsy would thrive in a semi-active home with a family or individual who enjoys frequent outdoor activities like hiking, camping, or beach trips. She'd also be happy with casual playtime in the yard. She can potentially do well in an apartment with adequate exercise and socialization, or a home with a backyard for exploring and sunbathing. She is great with kids of all ages, even those as young as 5, and wasn't bothered by energetic play. For a canine companion, she would do best with a medium-energy male dog who enjoys company but doesn't require constant play, and who would appreciate an occasional game of chase. Etsy does not require another dog in the home to be happy. She would do best in a home without cats, as she showed a little too much interest in the resident cat.

Ongoing Health

No specific health conditions were mentioned in the listing.

Training & Support

Etsy is eager to learn and loves treats! She already knows basic commands like "sit" and "down." She walks fairly well on a leash, only pulling occasionally towards interesting smells. She responds well to correction and is eager to please. Etsy has excellent house manners and is crate and potty trained. She can be a little shy with new people and in new environments initially but warms up quickly, showering her new family with kisses and snuggles.
