Doja is a sweet and playful 3 year old gal looking for a patient and understanding home. She’s a bit hesitant in new situations and will need time to decompress, but once she feels comfortable, she’s a loving companion. Doja is playful and interested in toys but can be sensitive around high-value treats, so continued training is necessary. For this reason, she will need an experienced owner to help her build confidence and manage this behavior. Doja is friendly with strangers but prefers a slow approach to introductions. She knows "sit" and has great leash manners. She would do best in a home with no young children (16+ recommended) and may need a little more time to adjust to other dogs. If you're looking for a dog to bond with gradually, Doja could be a great match!
