Pickles

Suzanne DiCristofaro: Hi, I’m Pickles! I am 1-2 years old, 32 lbs, and female. My breed is unknown, but I could be a beagle mixed with Vizsla or maybe Rhodesian Ridgeback. I have lighter eyes that match my coat and a nub tail. I am funny when I want to play with other dogs and I get all twitchy and hop around and want to zoom. Sometimes they don’t want to play so I just keep bouncing around by myself. I live with other male and female dogs from 23-100 lbs and we get along fine. I met some cats and they were kind of interesting but I didn’t really do anything, so I might need further testing to see if I would do well with cats (let me know if you would like me to do another practice session). I haven’t met any kids yet. I have seen some horses from a distance but ignored them. I came from a bad situation before PAWS and I need a patient adopter who will help teach me that the world is ok. I was scared of crates initially but now I eat my meals in the crate for short periods of time. I am not destructive so my foster humans leave me uncrated when they leave the house. Sometimes I get scared by loud noises and want to bolt and hide, or am too scared to go through the doorway to go to the back yard. I am working on my house training and it should go better once I feel safer at going in and out of the house. The good news is that I am very food motivated and I also will pick a person who is my buddy and I will follow them around. I also like to curl up right next to you on the couch. With more practice and as I learn that people don’t want to hurt me I will get more confident. I can walk on leash but sometimes I get scared and want to bolt or flatten myself into a little pancake on the ground. I really like walking on trails and it makes me happy and excited. Hope to meet you soon! Maybe: Suzanne DiCristofaro: Hi, I’m Pickles! I am 1-2 years old, 32 lbs, and female.
