Etta can be shy at first, but given some time to warm up she is such a sweet girl. Etta knows how to use the doggie door to go potty outside. She is completely potty trained in her foster home (with a doggy door). Etta is learning to walk on leash but it still isn't her favorite activity. She does well with both big and small dogs, but we haven't had her around cats. . Etta would love a family who understands that I will take time to warm and love you.
