Hi there! My name is Brittany! Though I am in foster care right now, I am looking for a new foster or a furever home to help me branch out away from my mom and siblings. (send an email to info@smallbreedrescue.org if you are interested in fostering me) I’m a happy-go-lucky, carefree, and cheerful companion who is tough on the outside but a teddy bear on the inside. What thrills me most in life is sharing my love with those around me, whether you’re big, small, old, or young. I’m an equal-opportunity companion! Affection is my middle name, and I can’t think of anything better than getting love and attention from my family. I’m outgoing and friendly, and you’ll often find me lying in your cozy lap, content and happy. My favorite toys are squeaky ones and those that help me with my teething. I love every treat I’ve tried and enjoy playing chase and getting cuddles. My foster family is helping me learn manners or what we call Petiquette and how to be calm. Sometimes I have trouble controlling my excitement and impulses, but I’m learning. I like to take my time approaching new situations. While I’m a bit shy with new faces and places, I warm up as I become more familiar with my environment. I know sit, stay, come, off, down, wait, and walk on a leash with a harness. I am crate-trained and, although I whine at first, I settle down pretty quickly. I’m learning to be potty trained and do well when I am reminded to go outside. I still need some help with my manners and would do well with some additional positive reinforcement training. Exercise keeps me happy and content. Without it, I can get a little worked up. I do best when I have had a chance to get my energy out so that I can be calm later. Going for walks, engaging in play, and doing outdoor activities with my new family daily would make me very happy! I was found living under a shed on a very large, secluded property with my siblings and mom and boy have I come a long way!
