Shasta is low energy and prefers dogs with similar personalities. I LOVE puppies, and would be happy to accommodate them, though I do charge a little extra as they require a lot more attention than an adult dog. Since Shasta is small, I would prefer smaller dogs so that everybody stays safe. We also do not have space for a large dog in our house and car. I do not really have breed preferences as I believe that any dog can be wonderful regardless of breed. However, I do not have the resources to host aggressive dogs, dogs with a herding instinct, extreme barkers and dogs lacking bite inhibition as well as the wonderful but overly exuberant dogs that might bounce right on top of Shasta and injure her. It is preferred that your dog has some basic manners (come, sit, stay) but I realize that no dog is perfectly behaved all the time. Before sitting, here is a list of things that I would like to know: Any known medical conditions and what to do in the case of an emergency What really annoys your dog (ie. having people touch his food, paws etc.) What makes your dog happy (belly rubs, favorite stuffies, eating separately) If your dog is allowed treats (which ones) Any behavioral issues and how to handle them (barking, pulling etc.) How much food does your dog eat per day and what kind How many times your dog needs to go potty per day Any odd quirks that are unique to your dog!

We will be going on walks both around our neighborhood and at nearby parks such as Neck Point, Piper's Lagoon and Lost Lake. The dogs will be on a six-foot leash (preferably with a harness) as I do not feel comfortable with letting them off leash when the dog does not yet have an emotional attachment to me and retractable leads can be unreliable. This will not restrict your dog's ability to enjoy a day out though as he/she can still frisk and frolick while on the leash or I can run with them if they want. In-between walks, your dog will be entertained with a variety of different toys as well as challenging food puzzles. If your dog wants to bring his/her own favorite cuddly from home, that would be great! Although Shasta does not wreck toys, I will make sure that she does not steal your dog's toy!
