Foster Parent Evaluation of the dog

Special Qualities: Very loving.

Special Requirements/Needs: None

Fence Requirements: In her foster home she has 6 foot fencing, cannot say how she would do with lower fencing.

Additional Comments: She is a very loving dog. She likes to sit and be cuddled and petted. If you stop petting her when she does not want you to, she will nudge your hand and let you know. We feel that she might have been abused. If Kelly does not get her walk in the afternoon and she gets the opportunity to run out the door she will take her own walk. So this is something to be aware of. Otherwise she is a great dog and will make a great addition to your home.
