I'm ready for adoption!

I've got you Mr. Octopus! There's no escape now :-)

Hi Everyone!  It's me, Danika!  How have you been?  Me?  Thanks for asking.

I've been Busy!!

Gosh, there's so much tell.  Let's start with the really important stuff you want to know...

I'm House Trained.  Completely.  When I need to go do my business, I go to the door I've been taught to use - that's my signal.  Then I go out and do my business.  Everyone always wants a house trained dog, right?  All you need to do is teach me where I need to go and we're set!

I'm super good with my commands.  Sit?  *Ka-Thump* (that was my butt hitting the floor :-) ).  Down?  I'm down here, will you rub my belly?  Please?  I sit for all my meals, treats, chew bones, cookies, and even to go out and in the door for walks.  Next up is "Stay" - I'll keep you posted.

I get along with other similar sized dogs.  I love other dogs - Let's Play!  I love to wrestle and chase and play - I did great at the dog park this past weekend with a Shepard mix and a Great Dane.  It was so much fun!

People are often looking for younger, energetic dogs without needing to deal with puppies.  Hey, that's me!  I'm living out the puppyhood I never got as a stray or shelter dog - but I'm house trained and know my basic commands.

Picture time!!

I'm sitting to ask for love from Uncle Chris - and he's taking pictures.
The nerve of this guy!

Right after that picture Uncle Chris and I had hugs and scritches and love.  I'm very affectionate and enjoy a good round of kissy-face!  Will you love me?

Aaahhhhhhhh, that's better!

This set of photos shows how much I love to be outside in this great weather!  Rolling around in the (artificial) grass feels great on the fur...

Play?  You really need ask?  You must not spend much time on the Foster Dog Facebook Page.  Let's see...

Here's one of me playing with a new toy I got at Nooga Paws (they love us shelter dogs and support us all the time).

Or Maybe this one of me playing with the Pheasant toy?

STILL not convinced?  Okay, I'm a little embarrassed to show this one, 'cause it's so silly.  Here's me trying to "bury" a rawhide chew bone in the house - I don't bury it, just try to hide it.  I seem to think pushing at it with my nose makes it disappear or something...

So let's review, shall we?

• I'm House Trained.
• I know some basic obedience commands (and I'm smart, so I'll learn new ones fast!)
• I get along well with other similar sized dogs.
• And I have a Puppy-like personality without all the puppy baggage.

Sounds like a winner, am I right?

Guess what?  The Humane Education Society is having a 12 Hour adoption event on Friday, December 18th from Noon-Midnight.  I'm going to be there - I'll let you know when.

Or you can just contact Uncle Chris through his Foster Facebook Page, or you can contact the nice people at www.heschatt.com and they'll get you in touch.

Still not convinced?  How about the sad story part?  I was picked up as a stray about a year and a half ago.  That means I've spent more than half of my life in the shelter - I'm ready to be a family dog, let's do this!!!
