Lucky Girl

Lucky Girl has a heart of gold. If you spend less than a minute earning her trust, she will melt at your feet and offer you her endless love. She a good listener, fast learner, and bonds quickly. She’s loves kids and feeds off their energy. She’s respectful to other dogs, but may or may not be comfortable romping around with them. In general, she’s a little insecure. She needs to approach people and other dogs on her own terms—which means she needs a strong human leader to be her voice and ask strangers to let her approach, smell their shoes, and offer her a treat before reaching out to pet her. It’s a 30 second greeting process that makes her feel comfortable, and diminishes the insecurity that makes her feel like she has to protect herself. She will not do well in situations where stranger introductions are not managed—she will bark, growl and get snappy if the stranger approaches her on their terms vs. letting her approach on her terms. After meeting a person 1-2 times on her terms, they are no longer a stranger—they are now in her inner circle of trust and can interact with her immediately. To ensure that Lucky Girl finds the right forever home, we will be selective in our “human criteria” and her dog trainer is offering free “transition training” sessions to be conducted within the first two weeks of her FTA (foster to adopt) trial period.
