Description:
Summer is a smart, energetic adolescent mix with a playful spirit and a love for learning. She already knows 'sit' and 'paw' and is eager to continue building her skills with an adopter who enjoys training and engagement. As an adolescent, Summer is still working on her basic manners, including mouthing and jumping on people-very typical behaviors for her age. Because of this, she would do best in a home with children over the age of 10 who can help reinforce calm, appropriate interactions. As a stray, Summer's history is largely unknown. However, she will need patient, understanding adopters who can gently introduce her to new experiences and help her build confidence as she navigates the world. She can be reactive to other dogs because she gets very excited to meet them and has a hard time containing her enthusiasm. Due to her energy level and reactivity, she will benefit from adopters who are committed to ongoing training and positive guidance. If you're looking for a dog who is sweet, playful, eager to learn, and ready to grow with the right support, Summer may be the perfect match for you. Summer is currently available Behind the Scenes and will require a Behavior Consult before going home with her forever family. She is also eligible for Foster to Adopt if you'd like more time to get to know her before making a commitment. Please ask Customer Care to learn more about meeting Summer.
