Licorice two week update

Not much to update on Licorice.
She came to us so well adjusted and happy, but here we go…….

Housetraining –  Perfect !! Very reliable

Crate- Licorice crates easily and rests comfortably in the crate. She has even “put herself to bed” at night.

Leash- Doing great. No pulling and she listens well. She does still like to put her nose to the ground and then start to wander... but then………. She is a dog, right?

Food/Eating- Licorice loves to run to her crate at meal time, and eats quickly. Loves treats and loves to chew on “bones” and Kongs with peanut butter. Yum 

Socialization- Licorice met my 18 mo old grandson, my kids, my husband's band mates and the neighbors. Everyone is her best friend. No issues here. She also seems to do well with all dogs, but we haven’t met very many.

Personality – Happy, friendly, and busy, she is just a joy to have around the house. Loves pets, but can also entertain herself.

  

I’m not sure how a dog like this gets into a shelter in the first place, but she is completely ready to settle into her own forever home. Won’t you apply today ?



 

Licorice weekend updates

My 18 mo old grandson stopped for a short surprise visit yesterday and Licorice did great!

She was excited, but did not jump up. She licked his face and smell his fingers, but once she was done "greeting" him, she went about her business. She was a very good girl. Not sure I can say the same about my grandson.... ha .. ha

And... last night when we were shutting down the house for bed, my husband and I couldn't find Licorice.

Where was she? She had put herself to bed in her crate, and was already fast asleep.

She is such a great girl. She needs to find her forever home soon.

 Can you see the dirt on my nose?
I was hunting moles!

Licorice the little sneak

You gonna finish that?

Hurry, Charlie left his hoof unattended.

Got it.

Now I have the bed too.

Hoofs are the BEST!!

Licorice morning walk.

Let's get started.

Look at my scary shadow.

Oh oh. What's that smell?

Look Mom, I'm hunting!

Licorice one week update

Housetraining –  Perfect! Never an accident, and she has even asked to go out by scratching at the front door.

Crate- She crates easily with a treat in the morning when we leave for work. My husband says she does cry for a minute when I leave, but settles down quickly. She is resting quietly when I get home.

Leash- Licorice does well on the leash, but she’s not exactly the perfect walking partner just yet. She does like to follow her nose and is always on the hunt, which is not a problem out in the middle of nowhere (where we live). It may be a challenge to a busy city walk. Licorice is a very smart girl, and listens to direction. She will quickly learn whatever leash manners are needed for the daily walk where you live.

Food/Eating- We are currently feeding a grain free kibble, with a spoon of wet canned food stirred in. She loves it and has no stomach upset. She does eat very quickly and is always looking for more. She loves treats. ANY treats ;-) She also likes to chew on hooves, Kongs, and kneecaps.

Socialization- Licorice has been on a few car rides, a visit to the dog park, and been all over our neighborhood. She loves every adventure and everyone she meets. She and our dog Charlie have been playing together a little, but our Charlie (the KING of wrassling) has been under the weather and has not exactly been in the mood. Licorice seems to sense this, and will just lay quietly next to him as if to comfort him. It’s absolutely adorable.

Personality – Friendly, playful and inquisitive. She likes exploring. She loves toys, and will even play fetch for a minute or two. (Until she decides she would rather play with the object being tossed, than to continue bringing it back). Licorice is a busy girl. She likes having something to do, but will settle nicely with something to chew.

Coat/Size- Her coat is soft and silky and very long on her sides. I have not seen any shedding. She really could use a good grooming. She is a little “scruffy” looking right now. I bet she would look amazing after a day at the spa. She is low and long with a measurement of about 13” to her shoulders and about 17” from her collar to the base of her tail.

Licorice would do well in any home.

Apply today, and come play.
