Sheila’s a happy girl who enjoys people. Her former owner said she’s lovable and was raised around three “hyper” kids.

Our trainer/evaluator notes that she enjoys being petted and walked. Fetching plush toys seems to entertain her, too! She’s a fast learner and training — using positive reinforcement only — will keep her enthusiastic while she learns. 

Using a body harness will also help her learn loose-leash walking. She needs a yard and loves to be outside. Because she’s athletic, agility or some other dog sport would be fun for her and her adopter. Is that you?
