Signy gets along well with other dogs, cats, and children, making her a great fit for a lively family. Her prey drive is pronounced, so she isn’t suitable for homes with chickens or livestock.

She’s smart and craves activity, needing regular walks, play, and brain games to keep her happy. While she was house- and crate-trained as a puppy, her recent time outdoors means she’ll benefit from a refresher on indoor routines.
