Dee Dee

Description

Meet Dee Dee!! Dee Dee is a 1-2 year-old, 42 lb Pittie mix with the sweetest personality and an impressive talent for turning into a total play monster around her dog friends! Inside the house, Dee Dee is an absolute angel: quiet, gentle, cuddly, and well behaved. She loves nothing more than snuggling up with her people, carrying her toys around, and carefully “babying” them. When she gets excited—which happens often—she does the cutest little tippy-tap hops with her paws.Dee Dee warms up to new people fairly quickly, though it may take a few weeks for her full goofy personality to come out. Once she feels comfortable, she is playful, affectionate, and wonderfully silly. She has excellent house manners and is comfortable in her crate. She may whine briefly when first crated but settles down and is mostly quiet.Outside, Dee Dee is a high-energy social butterfly. She loves hiking, playing, and especially romping with other dogs. She is a true play machine and can sometimes come on a little strong because she is so eager to make friends, but she responds well when other dogs correct her and does her best to adjust her play style. One or two good walks or play sessions each day help keep her happy, mellow, and well behaved at home.Dee Dee is great on leash overall, though passing cars frighten her and she may try to move away from them. Her adopter should be prepared to help her build confidence and keep her secure around traffic. She is wonderful in the car, although she is a bit clumsy and insists on standing for the whole ride. Dee Dee is also very food-motivated, making positive-reinforcement training a fun way to continue building her basic manners.Dee Dee would thrive in a home that offers a balance of activity and relaxation—someone who enjoys walks, hikes, and playtime but also appreciates a cuddly, quiet companion afterward. She would be happiest with a playful, dog-friendly canine companion, though she could likely be okay as an only dog with plenty of social opportunities. Her history with cats and children is unknown, so thoughtful introductions and supervision would be important. If you’re looking for a sweet snuggle bug with a goofy, playful side, Dee Dee may be your perfect match!Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-serve basis.
