Idgie's striking merle coat complements her gentle demeanor, and her calm presence is truly inviting. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs of her size and thrives in their company.

Calm at home, she is fully housebroken and crate trained, able to stay in her crate for up to nine hours, quietly resting by her foster’s side at night. Idgie has shown some resource guarding with her meals, so she is fed separately from other pets, but she shares treats, toys, and bones without issue. She has bursts of playfulness but loves long naps and bonding time too. With a little stubbornness, Idgie does well in a secure environment, making a yard with a 6-foot fence ideal for her fun-loving side. This affectionate companion is ready to create a loyal bond with her new family. If you're looking for a gentle and loving friend, Idgie might be just the perfect match for you.
