Rory is one of those dogs who just blossoms when she knows she is safe and loved. From the moment her foster got her home she knew she was going to going to get to see her in full bloom and she absolutely has. Although I spent a few hours with Rory, enjoyed her company and got to know her more, most all of what is shared here is from her devoted foster. With a front row seat, she has the best view.
Take a look at her beautiful view, get to know Rory a little more and then come back to read more.

At home, Rory's an absolute sweetheart. No accidents here! She'll let you know when she needs to go out, usually by whining and giving you that classic let me out, please! look. She's a big fan of toys and loves playing fetch, though she might not always bring it back to you, it's kind of her way of taking a break. She's definitely part couch potato too or in her case chair potato. Her favorite place to curl up is on the armchair, where she goes from happily watching TV with you to full on snoring. You'll still be able to hear the tv though, they are just quiet little snores. Rory is estimated to be 5 years old, weighs 57 lbs. and may be a husky/lab mix. Of course, she is a rescue so age and breed are not details we can guarantee.
Rorys foster praises her for being friendly with people and great with kids. She shared that her two- and three-year-old niece and nephew adored her, and she was always so gentle and patient with them. On top of a variety of dogs, Rory met a two-month-old puppy during a recent visit at a family friends house and had fun playing and was so sweet on him. She lives with dogs and has met all sorts of dogs, big, small, young to old. She can be a bit shy during on-leash greetings but is polite and if she is not feeling comfortable, she will simply keep on walking. Rory is definitely more of a dog-companion than a dog-playmate with her best match being easy-going dogs that don't feel the need to push or insist she play. She doesn't mind gently letting them know in her own doggy way that she isn't interested and then moves on.
Rory has basic leash skills and continues to learn in new environments. She recently got to tag-along for a pet-store run and was very polite but a little unsure of walking next to the cart but settled in after just a few minutes. Clearly, she is a smart cookie and picks things up quickly. Her foster has praised her crate manners, calling her a rock star! She is quiet and settles into sleep easily. She also knows basic commands including sit and lay down. She also learns quickly and takes correction well.
We would love to see Rory in a home with a yard, adding a family with kids to that scene would be the true dream. Rory does not need another dog in the home; her people and a few toys will fill her bucket each and every day. The only no we would encourage is no cats. Her foster has cats and will attest to her attempts to get a good game of chase in when she first met them. They are kept separate now after one curious moment turned into a little too much excitement, so a cat-free home is best.
Overall, Rory is a loving, fun, and smart pup who's just waiting to be part of your family. She's come so far in such a short time and is ready to keep learning and loving with you by her side. If you're looking for a loyal buddy who's as happy exploring the world as she is snuggling up for TV time, Rorys your girl!
