Hi friends! My name is Stretch.
I recently came to Florida with a bunch of dog friends. We took a long road trip from Louisana to get out of the way of the hurricane. First off, I want to thank all of the helpful rescue humans that got me safely from the shelter in Louisana to my foster home with VIP Rescue. I am now rested up and in search of my forever home!!
I am approximately 1 years old and weigh 17lbs. They say I am a Corgi/Dachshund/Terrier mix. They also say I am cute, affectionate, friendly, feisty and energetic.
So far, so good my foster mom says with the housebreaking. I’ve only been here a week and I’m still getting into a routine. She has potty papers down for her dogs and I use those sometimes, but I’m really liking the outdoor potty times.
What I would really like is to chase a bicycle or a jogger, or even a golf cart, but foster mom says that is not safe so we are working on my reactivity to those things while I’m outside on leash. Although I walk well on the leash, I bark loud and pull when I see these things. Foster mom distracts me, sometimes with a treat, and we move along. She says I need more practice ignoring these fast moving things but that I’ve got potential. I still say let me at ‘em!!
I am a young, energetic dog. If you don’t have a safe contained area for me to run, I will need some nice daily walks to get my steps in, my energy out, as well as ample sniff & smell time.
I get along great with other dogs, just properly introduce us. It would be nice to have some dog friends in my future, but they don’t have to live with us. I share toys, I play with toys. Did I say ToYs? I love toys!!!
Liking my vibe? Let’s meet! If you have a dog, you need to plan to bring it with you for a meet & greet. I’m ready to go home!!
