About Ebony

Ebony's journey since leaving the shelter has been inspiring. Initially, she was anxious and overwhelmed, but in her foster home, she has transformed into a much more confident and joyful dog. She's now around 95% house-trained, showing improvement even through loud monsoon storms that make her a bit nervous. This playful girl adores chasing tennis balls and is always on the lookout for small critters like rabbits and lizards. Ebony loves being around people, often curling up on the couch or following her favorite humans around the house. She does best with an individual or couple who can provide time and attention. Although she enjoys resting in her crate, extended periods with the door closed can still cause her anxiety. Known for her big bark, she takes her alert duties seriously; however, she settles down quickly once she senses there’s no threat. Ebony is treat-motivated and eager to learn, responding well to positive reinforcement. Her trainer suggests a home without small dogs to ensure her success. With continued love and guidance, Ebony will be a loyal and devoted companion for a family ready to help her grow in confidence. This sweet girl simply wants a loving home where she can be part of daily life.
