Artie

Artie is a 3-year-old, spayed female Terrier mix weighing 32 pounds. She's a fun-loving, high-energy girl who's always ready for an adventure! Whether it's a game of fetch, a run in the yard, or playing with her toys, Artie brings enthusiasm and joy wherever she goes. She's incredibly smart, playful, and affectionate, and she absolutely adores people, greeting strangers with excitement and a wagging tail. Artie is independent, outgoing, curious, and wonderfully silly – she'll make you laugh daily, keep you active, and then snuggle up with you.

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. 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. On leash, she may bark or pull when she sees other dogs, so continued training will help her polish those manners. Artie 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. 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, and while she doesn't need another dog, she would likely enjoy a playful canine companion.

Ongoing Health

No specific health conditions are mentioned in the listing.

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 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. Her ideal home would be patient and ready to continue her training, especially helping her learn how to settle calmly and share toys more comfortably.
