At just 8 months old and 24 pounds, Vixen is a petite little charmer with a gentle spirit and a playful streak. She's easy in and out of her kennel, walks nicely on leash, and rides great in the car, making her an easy companion for both daily life and adventures. She already knows "sit" and seems to know "down" as well, and since she's very treat motivated, she's likely to pick up new skills quickly.
Vixen is a cuddle enthusiast at heart. She'd often rather curl up with her person than play with toys, though she does get occasional bursts of puppy playfulness where she might snag a shoe or pillow for fun. Luckily, she's happy to trade her treasures for treats. She can get a little mouthy when she's overly excited, but there's no pressure behind it and she redirects easily with gentle guidance. She may also try to sneak a taste of your food if given the chance, though she responds well to redirection there, too.
She shows signs of being housetrained when kept on a routine and spends much of her day snoozing peacefully, sprinkled with short spurts of playful energy. Sweet, affectionate, and eager to be close to her people, Vixen is the kind of pup who will happily be your snuggle buddy, shadow, and best friend all in one.
As always, we strongly recommend that resident dogs meet any new potential canine family members. If bringing a resident dog for a dog to dog test, please bring proof of Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella vaccines.
To meet your new pet, come to Guilford County Animal Services between 12 and 4 any day except Tuesday!
