Aggie

Aggie is a one year old medium sized solid black female. She was an unclaimed stray out of the Modesto Shelter, so nothing is known of her background. She has a good amount of energy and can spend most of the day playing chase with her foster siblings. She eagerly greets other dogs and invites them to play by placing her paw on their shoulder, or bowing down in from of them while wagging her tail. Aggie is still working on her basic commands, but has a willing to please attitude, so training her is fun.

She has not had any accidents in the house, so thus far, she appears to be housebroken. She readily goes into her crate for bed each night. Aggie thrives in a household with a familiar routine, and clear expectations. She is learning to enjoy car rides, but will still get sick on occasion.

Aggie is currently being fostered on a small farm, and has shown no interest in the goats, but will join in a chase with the wild rabbits. She will play with a dog toy, but would much rather play with another dog. Aggie does not wonder far from the house, even when the other dogs may go adventuring out in the fields. She alarm barks appropriately, alerting to visitors coming onto the property. She has been friendly with everyone she has met so far.

Aggie takes correction without resentment, and can "shut-down" for a moment if the correction is too stern. If given a stern correction, she will distance herself, but returns to the handler within a minute or two with her head down and slow walk, ready and willing to please. She just has not had a lot of formal training, but is a quick study, especially if given a routine.

Aggie is looking for an active home with another playful dog of similar size, a family that will take her to basic training classes, and continue her socialization. This is a love-bug of a dog looking for a calm, but confident leader to continue her training.

This is a Level 2 Dog
