8/30/2024 Foster Feedback: Kitchen continues to be an absolutely lovely foster. She is a great cuddler when it is time to relax, and is great at zoomies and prancing around with toys when it is is time to play. I have definitely enjoyed her becoming more confident and allowing her sparkling personality to show. She has the run of the entire first floor of my house whenever I am gone, and does very well patiently napping on the couch or watching out the window until I return. She does great at walks with an easy-walk harness, and at this point only pulls with significant distractions (mainly deer, new dogs approaching her, or a cat or rabbit within reach). She continues to be very easy to manage in general, responds quickly to gentle redirects. She is very smart, does great with all the usual commands, and loves chances to show off just how good she can be.

Kitchen still cannot be close to other dogs, but is not aggressive unless they get very close (within about three feet), and she has learned to do a good job of accepting familiar dogs like the neighbor's dog when they come and investigate our fence. I especially appreciate that she does not act aggressive towards other dogs while we are on walks as long as they are at a distance, and also does not show aggression when she sees them through the window. My neighbors particularly adore her and are always talking about how well behaved she is and how she hardly ever barks. She gets along with people of all sorts, and easily wins over anyone who comes to visit us.

If your living situation allows for a dog that can't be around other dogs, I encourage you to meet Kitchen. It's hard to convey in writing just how likeable this goofy little gal is!

2/28/24 Foster Feedback: Kitchen is an absolutely lovely dog. I would snatch her up myself if my situation allowed it. She is sooooo affectionate and just loves to cuddle up with her person on the couch, really any person. When she is not trying to lay on you or asking for pets, she prefers to show off her goofy personality by parading around the house with a squeaky toy or throwing balls down the stairs so she can chase them. She is still young so she likes to be active, and loves to run laps in the backyard and take walks around the neighborhood. She does really well on a long leash and harness, but does still pull to try and say hi to other dogs or investigate a rabbit or squirrel. She also still pulls whenever you use a collar instead of a harness. Kitchen is also muzzle trained.

She is clever girl who has learned a number of commands - sit, lay down, hand targeting, and even to roll on her back so you can wipe mud off her feet. We are still working on stay, and also on recalls when she is outside. Inside the house, she is very easy to manage, a gentle "ope" or "uh-oh" is usually all it takes. She can be a little timid and submissive at times, so it definitely helps her if her home is calm and doesn't have a lot of commotion. She has been fantastic with every visitor I've had, and this includes people who were new to her when I was not there. She is friendly towards my neighbors and their children. Kitchen is crate trained, and while she may pout a bit about it, she will do just fine in one while you are away. She is so well behaved in my house, that I haven't had to have her in a crate while I am gone.

If you're willing to give this sweetheart a loving home, she is absolutely willing to shower you in all the kisses, affection, and dog hair on your shirt that you can handle. She already has with me!To view additional dogs available for adoption, please see our website: www.4luvofdog.org
