McKaya is a sweet young girl who is ready for her forever family. She knows her manners, is eager to learn, and would love to be a hiking/camping companion. She can be cautious with new people but warms quickly and once she's established "her people" she loves to be with her human companions. She enjoys the beach and sitting around a camp fire with her family. Her favorite games are fetch (loves fetching a tennis ball), zooms in the yard, squeaky toys, chase and wrestling (with her dog companions). McKaya loves to play with other dogs, so would happily live with a canine roommate or would enjoy doggy play dates. McKaya has been learning how to be a well trained dog with her fosters. She knows various commands: no, sit, stay, up (e.g., getting into cars), come, paw, hi-five and is highly food motivated so would be happy to continue learning with her new family. She is mostly crate-trained (sometimes needs encouragement to go to the crate), and sleeps in her crate at night (but she also loves to sleep on the bed with her family if they let her). She also likes to keep watch for her people and will warn you if someone is at the door. She's an all-around "good dog".
McKaya loves daily walks but is frightened by cars and traffic. She prefers quiet settings like trail hikes and the beach, quiet streets and parks.
An ideal furever family would be active and have the time to spend with this girl, making her their beloved fur baby. McKaya is currently being fostered by a loving family in Oregon.
