Meet the fabulous Desdemona, affectionately known as Desi! 🌟 This spirited gem has a fierce name but a heart that is downright playful and full of love. Once a stray roaming the bustling streets of NYC, she found herself at the New York Animal Care Centers, feeling terrified and withdrawn amidst the chaos. 😔 But fear not, because she was saved by a compassionate soul who recognized the potential shining within her. Now, Desi is in a cozy foster home, eagerly waiting for a forever friend to help her truly thrive! At around 5 years old and weighing in at approximately 65 lbs, Desi is a mixed breed with all the charm of a seasoned adventurer! 🥾 She's already spayed and has made great strides in her reformation. Desi gets along fabulously with other dogs, especially with the right introductions, and older kids are recommended since she's still learning to trust new faces. 🎉 But be warned: this gal has a high prey drive and is NOT fond of small pets or chickens – her spirit just can't help but chase! 🐔💨 Now, let's chat about training! Desi is on her way to being an absolute superstar. Once this lovely lady bonds with her humans, she turns into a loving cuddle bug eager to please. 😍 You’ll find she’s house-trained, crate-trained, and leash-trained! Plus, she’s got a heart full of curiosity — she’s quite the toy fanatic but can be a bit toy-possessive. 🎾 Her love for the outdoors is unmatched; mud, puddles, and dirt? Absolutely her playground! 🌧️ The perfect home for Desi? Well, it should ideally be an adult-only environment or a home with older, respectful kids. Structure and patience are key, as she needs a dedicated human ready to invest time into building her confidence. If you’re an active individual or family who loves adventure and is committed to providing ongoing training and socialization, then Desi could be your fierce little hiking partner in crime! 🏞️ So, let’s give this quirky, special girl the life she truly deserves! With your love and guidance, Desi is ready to transform into the loyal friend you've always wanted. Why wait? Apply to adopt this incredible companion through the Buddy App today! ❤️
