About Miss Independent

Meet Miss Independent! This friendly girl loves following people around and is always on the lookout for treats. She enjoys interacting with her handlers and often approaches with enthusiasm. However, she’s still working on her manners and impulse control; she can be a bit mouthy when excited, so continued training and guidance will be essential. Miss Independent would thrive in a home focused on helping her build confidence and practice her manners. Positive reinforcement, consistent boundaries, and work on leash skills will be crucial in her development. Due to her mouthiness, a home without children under 5 is recommended. On the pet front, she didn’t pass her dog-dog assessment, so any introductions to other dogs should be managed by experienced adults. Currently, she’s undergoing follow-up veterinary care, which includes checking her heart murmur and skin mass, as well as dental care. Her spay surgery will be revisited after this assessment.
