Flash is a breeder release around 3 years old who it's been said has prior home living experience.  She was pretty timid the first week living with us but has slowly come out of her shell.  She spent a lot of time hanging out under the dining room table, which is still her safe haven if something makes her nervous.  Flash has 2 large resident dogs in the house which she follows when they are going somewhere but ignores when it's rest time.  She doesn't seem to be interested in playing with them at this time and she is always on a leash (no fenced yard) so has not had an opportunity to just run with them.  She does go for walks every day and does very well.  We are working on staying on one side and not circling her walker.  

Flash lives with 2 teenage kids and has been coming to them for pets.  She is a little more reserved with the adults in the house but every day gets better.  She seems to be the most comfortable when "grandma and grandpa" come to visit.  She immediately sits at their feet.  
Flash is good with potty training, no accidents since the first few days being here.  Her kennel is her comfortable place.  She stays in the kennel during the day when the humans are working and goes in willingly.  She initially slept in there at night as well, although recently she has been free in the bedroom.  She does not seem interested in jumping onto the bed or onto the couch.  And I have yet to hear her little voice - no whines, no whimpers and no barks.   And she doesn't mind car rides, just lays down in the footwell.  Overall she is a great dog who will be a good addition to any house.  

Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, alter, prepaid microchip, dewormed, Rabies vaccine, DAPP vaccine, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX , flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $550.00
