Savvy is a truly special girl who greets everyone with the kind of enthusiasm usually reserved for long-lost friends! She's incredibly loving and loyal, happiest when she's right by your side, whether that's on the couch for cuddles, out on a walk, or just hanging out. Savvy is all in for whatever you're doing, as long as she's with her favorite humans. Once she feels safe and secure, her playful spirit truly shines. She adores gentle pets and attention, loves to burrow under blankets, and enjoys playtime with dog friends she already knows and trusts. While she can entertain herself, she'd much rather be part of your adventures.
Ideal Home
Savvy has a moderate-to-high energy level and would thrive in an active household that can provide daily exercise, enrichment, and continued training. A fenced yard where she can safely explore would be a huge bonus. She is a strong girl who can jump surprisingly high, so secure fencing and supervision are important. Savvy would do best as the only dog in her forever home where she doesn't feel the need to be on guard or share the spotlight.
Ongoing Health
Savvy is continuing to work on her training and managing her reactivity.
Training & Support
Savvy can be protective of her person when meeting new people and may need a few meetings before she fully warms up. She likes to take her time getting to know people and new situations, but once she trusts you, her affectionate and loyal nature shines through. With other dogs, Savvy is selective. She's interested in making friends but prefers slow introductions and doesn't appreciate dogs who come on too strong. She can be uncomfortable with bikes and people who zoom past her unexpectedly, so she'll do best with adopters who are committed to helping her build confidence and continue making progress. She is highly food motivated, which makes training fun and rewarding!
