Hi! My name is Sur and I am a 4-year-old, 75 lb spayed female. I am already housetrained and crate-trained. I am currently crated when left home alone. I don’t necessarily need to be crated, though I can be an escape artist when I want to be so I should be crated when alone until I am settled into my home. I also use my crate as a safe space when I become overwhelmed so appreciate having it available.
I am skittish with new people and take a long time to warm up. I am starting to seek interaction with my foster family and am a sweet girl. I am hand-shy and still learning that there’s no need to fear moving hands or other quick movements. I will retreat to my crate when we have visitors.
I have done well with other female dogs, and have disliked the male dogs I have met. So if there is another dog in my home, they should be a female. I may benefit from an outgoing, well-adjusted female dog in my home. I have a stuffless skunk toy that I like to play with, or I will also accept a Kong or pig ear to chew on! I am remarkably unfazed by cats and wouldn’t mind cats being in my home.
My foster family has been spending time building my engagement and trust so I will have the foundations to continue my training with my adoptive family. I have also learned sit, leave it, and how to walk nicely on leash. If I am startled on a walk, I will flatten to the ground until I feel the perceived threat has gone away. I have been doing well in the car as of late, but should mention I got carsick a couple times early on with my foster family. I am a sweet girl looking for a patient family—could that be with you?
