Female | 1 year old | 55 pounds | Medium to high energy | Could make a good second dog to a calm companion | No cats, please! Shows prey drive | Does well with dog-savvy children | From Hamilton | Fostered in Bowmanville | Affectionate, sweet & a bit of a drama queen
Here comes AUDREY! Just like the iconic actress Audrey Hepburn, she is stunningly beautiful. Sure, this AUDREY may not be as graceful, but she’d happily eat breakfast at Tiffany’s with you if you offered. Mainly because she loves breakfast. And dinner. And treats of all kinds.
As you may have already guessed, AUDREY is food motivated. Thanks to treats, she is eager to please and loves training sessions. She loves food *almost* as much as she loves humans. Though she’s a bit tentative at first, she warms up fast and will quickly become a total cuddle bug. She looks you straight in the eyes and wears all her love on her face. She’s 55 pounds but believes with her whole chest that she’s a lap dog.
AUDREY is gentle and affectionate. Um, except with her toys. She will destroy any and all soft toys, so it’s only the heavy-duty chew-proof ones that will do. AUDREY can get some separation anxiety, and while she has made great progress with crate training, she may not be best suited to a 9-5er who works out of the home every day. AUDREY is an active dog who is on the higher end of the energy scale. She loves long walks and structured playtime (especially her all-time favourite game: fetch!), and when playtime’s over, she’ll do a very dramatic sigh.
AUDREY has met kids of various ages (including sniffing some babies) and did well! She’d likely be fine in a home with dog-savvy kids. AUDREY could make a great second dog to another calm dog that’s a similar size. She has had a few backyard play dates with other dogs recently and loved them! AUDREY also shows prey drive with local critters and for this reason is likely not well suited to live with a cat, though she hasn’t been tested.
