Ireland is a fun-loving, energetic girl with a big personality and an even bigger love for fetch! She's always ready for a game and proudly carries her toys around, dropping them at your feet when she's ready for you to join in. While she may not always want to give the toy back right away, her enthusiasm and playful spirit make it impossible not to smile. She's the perfect mix of affectionate and independent. Ireland loves being close to her people and often acts like your little shadow, checking in to see what you're up to before wandering off to investigate the next exciting thing. She's definitely a mama's girl and would happily soak up all the lap time for herself if she could! She does well with cats, though she isn't too thrilled about sharing attention with them. Ireland hasn't had much direct interaction with other dogs in her foster home, but she does bark when she sees them, so slow and proper introductions will help her feel comfortable. She can also be vocal when meeting new people at first, but once she realizes she's safe, her sweet and loving personality shines through. She's both crate-trained and house-trained, and she settles nicely into her crate at night after a few minutes. Ireland is great about letting you know when she needs a potty break. Outside, she's far more interested in exploring the world around her than playing fetch. Sniffing the grass, inspecting sticks, and keeping an eye on the neighbor dogs are much higher on her priority list! Like any young dog, Ireland is still learning and growing, but she has all the makings of an amazing companion for a somewhat active home. When she's in play mode, she's full speed ahead, but once she's gotten her energy out, she's more than happy to curl up in her bed or snuggle beside you on the couch for a cozy nap.
