BackPinta
Adopted
Description
Female, 11 months, fox terrier X, 27 lbs
Pinta is quite a shy pup, but she has bonded to me, her foster, very well and follows me everywhere. She rarely ever barks (twice in 10 days!). She loves to cuddle, loves belly rubs, chin scratches and ear rubs. She is house trained, had a couple accidents but only when I was tardy in letting her out. She is a grazer, not super food motivated, will not take treats if she is unsure of the person, or if she's scared.
She's a dream on a leash, not sure if she's trained or not prior but she never pulls, although she will bolt if she's scared. I spent the first few nights with her in her crate, and she whined only for a couple mins, then was fine. I've since let her sleep in my room and she's a dream. She listens quite well, she can sit, she seems to listen to leave it, and sometimes to off.
She's been good with other dogs, but she's afraid of people, she will hide behind me or even stay in another room if she can. In the car she's a bit nervous and doesn't settle so should be in a crate. I haven't seen her around children, but she's such a gentle girl I can't imagine she wouldn't be great around everyone. She's not high energy so far, but she seems to be coming out a little more every day. She needs someone who will work with her on confidence for sure.
Pinta is being fostered in Calgary.
