Update: Sheba's foster mom wants everyone to know that this young lady is IN LOVE with Children!! She absolute came alive when she encountered a group of three children, the youngest aged 3. She wagged her tail uproariously, talked continuously, licked hands and was most age-appropriate even with the 3 year old. She was so subdued after they left, that her foster mom thinks she might be MOST happy with children in her life. As with all dogs, she should never be left alone with the little ones, but Oh!, what a wonderful lifetime dog she would make for some lucky child! Sheba is a gentle, quiet, girl. A lover, not a fighter, she has a slightly reserved demeanor that tolerates small dogs and large dogs in groups, but really would prefer you all to herself or maybe with one other canine companion. Cats are unknown. She is far from an alpha, and displays submissive behavior around most dogs. Sheba has the most beautiful soulful eyes. Sheba is a fast learner, conquering healing while on her walk in a matter of minutes. She is housebroken with regular potty breaks, returning to the exact same spot every time. She likes beef rib bones & has a gentle mouth to receive treats. She is good with older kids, and if you want to steal her heart give her a greeting with an opened mouth smile. Sheba loves brushing and combing with a paddle brush and a dog comb, and also her sherpa cushion to sleep on. Mostly she loves lots of stroking of her soft, silky coat while she lays at your feet. Sheba would work well for a single adult, or family with older children, and is definitely not an outdoor girl. An apartment, or condo is possible, or home with yard would suit her just fine too. Sheba is currently being fostered in Puyallup, WA. |
