Meet Susanna

Susanna is a happy, energetic girl who really makes a connection with her human. She looks her foster dad right in the eyes everytime she sees him. Susanna is great with all his other dogs. She will play with any and all, is submissive and avoids confrontation. We aren't sure about cats but don't really notice a prey drive with squirrels or rabbits. Susanna has only been in her foster home a week at this writing, but she is doing excellent with housetraining. Her foster dad allows her to sleep in the bed with him at night and she sleeps right by his head. He says she greets him softly every morning when they wake up. She does not like the crate at all when he is home, but when he goes to work she goes into her crate for treats and handles it well for up to 5 to 6 hours. Susanna loves playing with toys and is a heavy chewer. She enjoys a variety of Nylabones. She does not resource guard her toys and will even offer to include another dog in playing with the toy. She is VERY food motivated - not aggressive at all, just loves food ...a lot! So foster dad is helping her learn some manners. Susanna is affectionate and happy to cuddle up for naps or "chill" time. At first she wanted only to be with her human all the time, but as she has settled in she has become comfortable spending more time outside with the other dogs when dad is home but inside. Susanna's best feature is not her leash walking and we really recommend a fenced yard for her. She has a lot of energy and will need a family who can provide outlets for that. Blessedly, Susanna is heartworm negative and is ready to go on sleepover.
