About Dancer

Dancer has been waiting longer than her siblings for a home, and it’s hard to see why. At 5 months old, she’s found a comfortable groove in her foster home. She’s fun, confident, and brings a touch of sass. Sweet and affectionate without being a pushover, Dancer gets along with the resident dogs but holds her own. Her foster describes her as full of curiosity and personality—she loves to explore outside and is always eager to join in whatever the humans are doing. Routine comes easy for her; she settles down in her enclosure day and night, is making good progress with potty training, and listens when it’s time to come inside. Leash and harness training are coming along too—she’s learning quickly. Dancer is past the baby stage but still in the thick of puppyhood, picking up new things every day and always ready to play or snuggle. Eleven weeks into rescue, she’s overdue for the spotlight.
