Description:
UPDATE: Sweetie has been in my home now since the end of February and is doing great with the other dogs. She sleeps where ever she chooses now at night and that is usually on the living room sofa some times with my male Rott sleeping at the other end of the same sofa. She gets along well with all of the dogs from 8 pound to 140 pounds and would get along with any new dogs if properly introduced. Sweetie loves spending the hot days in the pond chasing the frogs. She doesn't catch them, but does love the adventure of the chase. Sweetie also does not bother the horses and will stay close to me when I am out in the barnyard. She still eats her food in her crate so the other dogs do not try to get into her food, but she is not at all food aggressive and takes treats very carefully from your hand. She will also wait in line when treats are passed out for her turn to receive one.  The only fear she has is of having her nails trimmed. This still has to be done at the vets office and we use a muzzle to make sure she gets used to this being done. She has never offered to bite anyone during any type of test or treatment, but does growl when her nails are trimmed.  Sweetie loves the neighborhood girls who are 12 years old and would be equally good around younger children, but might knock them down accidently as she now weighs 61 pounds and always wants to be close to you.
 
Sweetie knows how to walk on a leash, sit, stay, lay down, go to your room (crate) and loves car rides. She would be the all around perfect dog for any family!!!!!  All she needs now is a forever home where she can give all of the love she has to her family!!!!  
 
Sweetie is still a young dog, about 2-3 years old, but had a litter of puppies very young.  Sweetie has had a hard life as she was attacked by two other dogs and on more than one occasion.  We have healed Sweeties outside scars and are making good strides towards healing her emotional ones as well.  Sweetie had fear aggression with other dogs when she first came to my home and would growl whenever a dog came close to her crate.  I have 8 other dogs in the home besides Sweetie and she is learning to accept them and not to fear that they will hurt her.  She can now walk though the house on leash with the dogs standing or laying whereever and not  be concerned about them.  She has even gotten to where she can allow another dog to smell her and not growl or get defensive about it.  She is housetrained, crate trained and likes to go for car rides.  She is not food aggressive and takes treats very carefully.  She is still a little shy with strangers until she knows you mean her no harm and would make a wonderful companion for a walker or a runner.  She could use more obedience training to hone her commands a little more and does require some exercise.  She is a very loving dog and likes belly rubs or just laying near you.  Sweetie would probably do best as an only dog, but would probably accept a puppy to share a home with as the puppy would grow up with her and learn to be submissive and not aggressive with her.  She is not the type of dog who would ever pull away from you to attack another dog, but would be quick to defend herself or you if needed.  For this reason, the obedience training would be required so she would know you are alpha and would also know all of her commands well.  Sweetie is eager to learn and to please the person she loves.  She would be a very devoted companion.

The petfinder.com system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.

Last Day Dog Rescue now microchips all animals before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the animals shoulder blades and are a permanent form of identification. The microchips are registered to Last Day Dog Rescue with the adopter's info added once adopted. If the animal is ever lost and slips his/her collar/tags the microchip allows the finder to know who to contact if scanned for a microchip. Animals MUST still have a collar with tags on at all times. Per our contract, we take all our animals back if for any reason you can't keep your adopted animal.

Please understand the statements about this animal are based upon the foster home's evaluation of the animal. The animal might behave differently (negatively or positively) in your home. While the animal might be good with the current foster’s dogs, cats, children, etc., it may not be with your animal(s) or children. The animal may be housebroken or litter trained in the home of the foster but may relapse in your home. The animal is represented to the public as it performs in the foster home and any statements made regarding the animal are conditional to that foster home setting. Please understand that statements made regarding this animal are simply overviews and are not guaranteed.
