About Summer

🌞✨ Introducing Summer, the silver sweetheart and 8-year-old treasure of a dog at a perfectly cuddly 68 pounds! After overcoming a rough start in the shelter, this gentle soul has transformed into a delightful companion filled with love and devotion. She’s not just a pet; she’s a fluffy bundle of calmness looking for a forever home where she can truly shine! Summer is as smart as a whip and does exactly what a good dog should: she’s fully house-trained and will stand patiently by the door when it’s time to go out. This amazing lady might have a history of being crate trained, but she prefers to hang out where her people are! When left alone, she may let out a little whimper—just a gentle reminder that she wants to be near her humans—but fear not, she's not destructive! Now, this lovely lady isn’t here for the fetch games or high-energy antics. Oh no, her idea of a great time is a lovely stroll, especially a sniffari that takes her through 1-2 miles of new scents and sights each day! With a polite and calm demeanor, she walks gracefully on the leash and barely flinches at squirrels. Did you know she’s come a long way, learning to just observe instead of lunging? Bravo, Summer! 🐿️💖 Summer's gentle nature shines through her interactions with people. She’s known to greet everyone with a soft paw and a happy hop—non-jumping but positively bursting with joy! While we haven’t seen her around young children, her respectful vibe surely suggests she could fit right in with dog-savvy kids. When it comes to her furry friends, Summer has been an absolute darling on walks, showing calmness around other dogs, especially those of her size. A medium-to-large dog companion would be an ideal buddy for her to share her gentle heart with, although she’d equally enjoy being an only fur-child. Summer’s favorite hangout spot? Right next to you! Whether it’s working from home or Netflix weekends on the couch, this silver princess loves being with her people. She’s a bit unsure about car rides—there may be a little panting—yet she hops in willingly, especially if a delicious pup-cup is involved. 🍦🐾 As for medical care, Summer is a champ! She underwent some ear cleanings and handled it all like a trooper. Trust and patience, that’s our Summer! Plus, she rarely barks—you can count on just a couple of woofs when she’s feeling chatty. **Best Home Match:** - No cats or small animals - Medium-to-large dog companions (optional) - Using a leash and enjoying calm walks - A life where she won’t be left alone for long stretches Summer has done the hard work of healing and learning to trust again. Now, she’s ready for her next adventure: a loving family who will cherish her for all her days! 🌈💕 Are you ready to be the lucky one who brings Summer into your heart and home?
