About Remy

Remy is an affectionate and athletic pup, a delightful combination of high-energy bursts and cuddly love! She's a little bit silly and a whole lot charming. What Remy cherishes most are gentle hugs and kisses from her humans. She's a friendly girl who loves making new friends and is currently working on her introductions. She does have a habit of jumping up to greet people.

Remy is very smart and thrives on positive reinforcement training! She absolutely loves to play with toys and is learning to patiently wait for her people to pick one up and throw it for her, though she might try to beat you to it. She's not possessive of her food, toys, or her people.

One of Remy's unique quirks is her obsession with light reflections on ceilings and walls, similar to a cat with a laser pointer. This can make her impulsive, and she might jump on things trying to reach these moving lights. It's best to supervise her indoors when these reflections are present to prevent her from accidentally bumping into or jumping on anything.

While Remy is great at home with her furry companions, she can sometimes get overstimulated by the sight of other dogs or animals during leashed walks or when separated by a barrier like a window or fence. When this happens, she can pull strongly and will need a handler with a firm hand to guide her. She might even "sing opera" as she passes by! We recommend focusing on playtime at home, training, car rides for pup cups, and walks during quieter times or in less populated areas. She enjoys hikes and leashed beach walks but is not suited for dog parks or dog beaches due to the potential for negative interactions with other dogs that might not understand her excitable and strong play style. She has never been in a fight or shown aggression, but her enthusiasm is considerable. We have the contact information for a great local trainer if you're interested. Remy is always ready to work hard, play hard, and then sleep hard.

With her fun-loving personality, Remy is sure to bring immense joy to your life. She has previously lived with cats, small dogs, and a large dog, but will need to meet any resident pets before adoption to ensure a good match. Remy might be a bit too rambunctious for very small children during her zoomies, but she has a heart of pure gold. Remy is a wonderful dog seeking a forever home where she can be a cherished member of the family.

Ideal Home

We require 2 or more meet-and-greets at our home, followed by at least one visit to your home before Remy's adoption is complete. This helps ensure she's the perfect fit for you and your family.

Ongoing Health

No specific health conditions were mentioned in the listing.

Training & Support

Remy loves positive reinforcement training. She is working on not jumping up to greet people and learning to wait patiently for toys to be thrown. She can be overstimulated by other animals on walks and may pull, requiring a strong handler. We can provide the name and number of a great local trainer.
