- May take some time to come out of her shell, but once she does she's very wiggly and sweet and might even crawl into your lap - Likes when you call her by her nickname, "Essie" - Enjoys toys and being silly - Knows sit and likes treats a lot - Young, noisy or busy children may be too much for her at this time; would likely benefit from a more mature family who can give her time to settle in and help her build confidence - Would probably enjoy a like-minded dog friend in her new home - We don't know her history with cats All adoptable dogs and puppies are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and DA2PPV as appropriate for their age) The ARL's shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most dogs we are only guessing at primary breed. We get to know each dog as an individual and do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not breed label. Primary Color: Brown Brindle Weight: 51.5lbs Age: 1yrs 8mths 0wks
