Artie is a fun-loving, high-energy girl who is always ready for her next adventure! At 3 years old and around 32 pounds, this Terrier mix is incredibly smart, playful, and affectionate. She absolutely loves people and greets strangers with pure excitement and a wagging tail. Artie's days are filled with a love for fetch, running in the yard, and zooming around the house with her favorite toys. She's independent, outgoing, curious, and wonderfully silly, guaranteed to make you laugh daily while keeping you active, and then cuddle up for snuggles.
Ideal Home
Artie thrives in an active environment and will do best with a family that enjoys walks, playtime, and outdoor activities. A yard or open space to run would be a huge bonus. She has done well with large dogs (50-100 lbs) in her foster home, and while she doesn't necessarily need another dog, she would likely enjoy a playful canine companion. 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. Artie should continue to be crated when left alone as she is curious and can get into things on counters if unsupervised.
Ongoing Health
Artie is spayed and up-to-date on 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, settling after a brief whine. On leash, she may bark or pull when she sees other dogs, so continued training will help her polish those manners. She is protective of her toys but backs off quickly when another dog indicates they are done playing. 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.
