Meet Candice, who we call Cassy. She is looking for her forever home and would do awesome with an older couple that is looking for a lap dog but still has some energy to play. 

She came to us scared and had few social skills with people and dogs. She was pregnant and due in 2 to 3 weeks. After having her puppies, she began to mellow and became a lap dog. She continued to become calm and socialized with my dogs. She learned to play with toys and tug of war with my dogs. She chases the squirrels but never fast enough to get them. She loves running in the back yard and chasing each other. She has learned to walk on a leash but will sit down and hold her ground when she is unsure of what she is expected to do. Kind words and soft tugs on the leash bring her out of it and the walk continues. She is unsure about the fall weather since she came from Mexico and she loves the heat. She will bathe in the sun relaxing listening to the birds. 

She learned to potty on doggie pads and is doing great going outside. I still have to take her out in the mornings when it is a little cold but during the day just remembering to let her out she will go potty outside. She uses the pads at night but is working on getting her to hold it till morning and going outside. She is terrified of closed areas with little space. She loves to lay next to you or in your lap. She takes a couple of days to warm up to you and to trust you but once she has she is a loving kind dog. 

Her health is excellent and she has all her shots and spayed. She had the heartworm shot and does not need heartworm pills till August of 2025. She is a sweet girl that loves to play with her toys and other dogs. I don’t have a cat so I have no idea how she will react to them. She has to establish her boundaries with other dogs and does awesome with little dogs and medium size. I am unsure about the bigger dogs.
