Medical Needs: Agnes has lived a hard life, and her body shows it.

She's not spayed, she only has 4 teeth, and she has mammary tumors. Due to her age and small size, surgery is not recommended as it would be very hard on her little body.

Crate trained: Yes

Good in the car: Yes

Good on a leash: Yes

Energy level: Low

Need a fenced in yard: No

Dog Friendly: Yes

If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? No

Cat Friendly? Unknown, but honestly a cat is more dangerous to her than she would be to it.

Kid Friendly: Yes

If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? We would recommend older kids (10 +) as she's not a fan of people who are loud and fast moving.

Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them? Agnes Crumplebottom came from a home where she wasn't treated very kindly. Because of this she's a little nervous with new people and really doesn't like it when someone is being loud or stomping around. Even so, she is so eager to be loved. She's got a lot of spunk for an old lady. She loves playing with small soft toys and will spend a great deal of time gathering them all up and taking them to the bed of her choosing. She's good with other dogs though she does need a warm up period when first meeting new dogs. She will growl if they come in too fast and threaten to got them with her purse (if she had one). Despite her only having 4 teeth, she's not afraid to stand her ground. She doesn't understand how fragile she is, so a home with older/calmer dogs would be best. She's a perfect mix of sweet and sassy.
