Artie is a fun-loving, high-energy 3-year-old Terrier mix who is always ready for her next adventure! Weighing in at 32 pounds, she brings enthusiasm and joy wherever she goes with her playful and affectionate spirit. Artie absolutely loves people and greets new friends with pure excitement and a wagging tail. She's incredibly smart and will make you laugh daily, keep you moving, and then curl up beside you 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. While not required, she would likely enjoy a playful canine companion, and she has done well with large dogs (50-100 lbs) in her foster home, though slow introductions are important. She has not been around cats and hasn't spent time with children yet, but her friendly personality suggests she could do well with proper introductions.
Ongoing Health
Artie is spayed and up-to-date on vaccinations.
Training & Support
Artie is house-trained and crate-trained. She may whine a bit when first crated but settles quickly. She should continue to be crated when left alone as she can be curious and get into things. On leash, she may bark or pull when she sees other dogs, so continued training will help her polish those manners. She can be a little on edge at first and is protective of her toys, but she backs off quickly and has never escalated. She also recognizes when another dog is done playing. Her ideal home will be patient and ready to continue her training, especially helping her learn to settle calmly and share toys more comfortably.
