Meet Suzy Q.

"Suzy Q is a VERY sweet girl that might be a little timid for a few minutes but warms up and bonds with humans extremely fast. No preference with men or women, good with kids as well.

She likes other dogs and is still feeling out her place with them, sometimes she shows a little resource guarding toward them and growls or chases them when she has a treat but is easily discouraged from doing so and there have been no fights. She has also completely ignored my cat, so she's suitable for a home either with or without other pets. 

Potty training is almost completely on point - she might have a couple nervous accidents (submissive peeing), but she goes to the door to signal she needs to go out.

Good eater and food motivated, and doesn't appear to have any food sensitivities. Medium energy - she would love to go on hikes or adventures, but when I work she is happy to sleep under my desk all day. 

I have heard her bark once or twice but she is not an overly vocal dog at all.

Suzy Q is still a young dog and will DEFINITELY chew things and get into trash cans, etc. Again she is easily discouraged and redirected, but keep in mind that a shoe or two may be sacrificed! She will also get mouthy when she is excited, but she is learning that she doesn't get pets when she's mouthy. 

The biggest issue is probably separation anxiety - she does get anxious when I leave the house, and since she is in a chewing phase still, I crate her when I leave, and at night. She does very well in the crate overnight, but may be anxious when humans are gone. This will take some consistency and will likely improve as she learns the routine of her humans and gets settled in a home. 

Most of all Suzy Q LOOOVES HUMANS more than anything in the world!" This post was written by her foster mama.

Additionally, Suzy Q has received her vet care at the shelter. She is spayed, vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped. She is available for adoption now and is fostered in Citrus Heights, California.
