Pidge enjoys exploring, sniffing out new sights, and coming for attention whenever called. If you're looking for a companion to keep you smiling and make each day a bit more exciting, she might just be your girl. Pidge thrives in an active household that can keep her busy. Daily walks, playtime, and fun training sessions will help her shine. Still learning her manners, she’ll benefit from a family that makes training enjoyable with plenty of praise and treats. Engaging activities like food puzzles and hide-and-seek will keep her mind entertained. When it comes to other dogs, Pidge is figuring out her feelings. Slow and thoughtful introductions are important, as she can feel conflicted. A controlled setting would be best for her as dog parks are not recommended at this time. Due to her enthusiastic nature, Pidge will do best in an adult-only home or one with children over 13 who can give her space and understand her boundaries. While she may be a bit unsure about handling and can bark when someone approaches the door, giving her time to settle will help. Respecting her pace is key, and she's currently working on her leash manners to keep all four paws on the ground when excitement strikes. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
