Naomi D68956 - Plott Hound and Husky Dog for Adoption in Minnetonka, Minnesota

Hi! My name is Naomi, and I am from Alabama!

I'm a super playful and affectionate little pup who loves being close to my humans. When you're working, I'm happiest curled up quietly beside you, just keeping you company.

I'm a smart girl and already learned how to use a pee pad (though I do prefer the bigger ones, please!). I'm still figuring out this whole "pottying outside" thing, but I'm trying my best.

Speaking of outside - I love it. There are so many amazing smells, sounds, and sights to explore. One of my favorite games is burying my nose deep into the grass like I'm searching for hidden treasure. My foster mom laughs and calls me her little fox. I'm still easily distracted on walks, but I'm working hard on my leash manners. I've already mastered walking on a loose leash... unless I spot something especially exciting that just has to be investigated.

I love everyone I meet because, to me, strangers are just friends I haven't met yet. Sometimes I'll gently wrap my paws around someone's hand to convince them to stay with me forever. I'm still learning proper greetings, though - I just get so excited to say hello that I occasionally forget my mouth can hurt.

I adore playing with my toys, especially when you join in the fun. Every now and then I forget that not everything is a toy, but I'm working on it, I promise. I'm also teething, so plenty of chew toys will help keep me happy.

I am very food-motivated, eager and determined when focused on a task. I have already learned clicker training to sit, shake, lie down, give hand kisses, and target on command within just a few days.

At bedtime, I'm a total pro sleeper as long as you're nearby. Having my people close makes me feel safe and cozy.

Oh, and one more thing: my fur is incredibly soft, and with my big ears, I look just like a tiny little elf
