Hello, I’m Dame Katniss de Barksdale! I’m super sweet, playful and eager to make friends with everyone I meet. I have so much love to give my forever family and I can’t wait to go home and settle into my happy new life!
I’m a young, joyful, explorative girl who loves stimulation and activity, yet I can calm down and snooze peacefully or cuddle in your lap. I’m a happy-go-lucky pup who loves napping in the sun, playing in the snow and just about any kind of playtime. A true Colorado dog! I’m a big fan of giving hugs, going for car rides, and taking leisurely walks to sniff and observe the world around me. Plush toys with squeakers and lots of chew toys are my absolute favorites! I love to prance, bounce and jump when I play with my toys and when I am focused, my ears stand straight up and I get cute little forehead wrinkles.
I am a bright, attentive, good listener who is eager to learn. Training me should be fun because I love interaction and I’m motivated by food and treats. I will voluntarily enter my crate to rest and can easily be guided in with treats or toys if needed. I’m learning to “sit” and I go potty pretty quickly when I go outside.
I absolutely love playing with other dogs, especially ones that match my energy and age! While my temperament is incredibly sweet and friendly, I’m still learning how to read cues from other dogs. I will continue to need positive training and patience, especially when adjusting to new environments and learning to socialize. I have met my foster’s cat and am improving each day – I am reacting to the cat less each day. With a gradual and proper introduction, I may get along well with a feline friend. I would do best with kids over 10 years old because I am so energetic that I might accidentally tackle someone very small with my exuberant love!
I’m searching for a loving home that’s patient and eager to help me learn and grow, as I’m still just a young pup. My tail is wagging with excitement to find my forever family who will cherish me as much as I’ll cherish them! Is that you??
