Silver is a timid and very sweet girl. She will lean into you for pets when she's comfy and takes treats nicely. Silver loves attention from her trusted people.
Silver is constantly complimented on her good behavior while on her walks and how beautiful she is!
She recently enjoyed her first party at her foster home. She was well mannered and very happy that people were over and food was being made and eaten! She loves fresh fruit which has been plentiful in her home this summer!
Silver is a certified snuggler, she gives the absolute best cuddles which are always so nice, especially on cold days and nights.
Silver would do best in a home with adults. Silver thrives in a structured environment with clear leadership. She looks to her owner for guidance and catches on quickly to routines.
She goes in her crate with no issues and gets a treat for her reward. On days her foster goes to the office, she knows the routine and will go straight to her crate for a treat. She hasn't shown any separation anxiety at all. Silver is able to free roam in the house while you are away. She has been left alone at home for 5 hours unattended. She's respectful of home and furniture, only chews her toys.
She loves to play and chew so indestructible toys are a must! Silver can become excitable, and her play style can become mouthy if you get her riled up while playing. In her foster home, the best way to keep the mouthy behavior at bay is to exercise her with walks, do puzzles for mental stimulation and tell her to get her ball as soon as the mouthy behavior begins. The key to keeping her play style calmer is to shut down the mouthy behavior as soon as it begins. She does play growl especially during tug. Her favorite toys are her deer antler, Playology Squeaky Chew Ball XL, rope, and Ruff Dawg brand toys.
She's a constant companion, she follows her foster around the house and likes to check in while showering or folding clothes. Anytime her person is gone from the room for too long, she comes to make sure they're ok.
Silver has done well meeting calm to moderate energy dogs. She did good while meeting a calm senior dog, she sniffed, gave tail wags and jumped around while her foster stopped and talked for a couple minutes.
She's food motivated and loves her treats! She knows a few tricks for her treats: sit, shake and stay.
Could you be the one to offer Silver the life of her dreams? She will repay you with loyalty of a best friend and companion for life.
