Rain



"I love to get dirty, but I HATE baths."

Rain is treat-motivated and a quick & eager learner. She knows signs for sit, drop-it!, lie down, touch and "watch me". She'll eagerly plop herself in front of you, trying to catch your eye in hopes of playing the eye-contact game and earning a treat.

Rain has strong drive and needs consistent daily activity. She finds walks and training games far more interesting than purposeless running in the yard; her ears perk up and her tail wags at the prospect of greeting a new person. She loves to go for car rides and meet new people, so her adopter should continue this socialization.

Rain gets along wonderfully with other dogs, and with every other dog she's met. She happily trots after them, inviting play, nibbling at their legs, and generally game for whatever they want to do. But if a dog warns her that he's not in the mood for her silly play, Rain flattens her ears and turns away. She doesn't persist or pester, and will happily turn her attention to something else.

Rain loves car rides. She'd prefer to ride right on your lap, but will settle for shotgun if absolutely necessary.

 

"Sure, put my entire head in your mouth if you'd like!"

Rain's tongue has always been too large for her mouth. It hangs out a bit when she's tired... or she's rested, excited, happy, asleep.
