Notes from No Dog Left Behind

Meet Ethel!

Ethel is the definition of a sweet, laid back companion. She’s happiest hanging out with her people, soaking up the sunshine, and enjoying life’s simple pleasures. If you let her, she’d happily spend the entire day sunbathing outside.

She is kennel trained, potty trained, and has wonderful house manners. Ethel is also incredibly gentle with children, including toddlers, making her a fantastic family dog. She does well with cats and has been respectful of her feline friends. She has not been around other dogs yet, so we are currently unsure how she would do in a home with another dog.

Ethel is very food motivated and currently working on her “summer body.” She firmly believes every meal should come with seconds (and maybe a few extra snacks), but we’re helping her lose a couple of extra pounds one treat at a time!

She’s learning to become a better leash walker and is making progress, though she still pulls and gets very excited when she spots squirrels, bunnies, chipmunks, or the occasional motorcycle. Those are simply too interesting to ignore!

One thing we’re continuing to work on is that Ethel may growl while eating her food. We’ve been working with her on this and she has already made progress with patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement.

If you’re looking for a loving, easygoing dog who adores kids, enjoys relaxing by your side, gets along with cats, and will happily keep you company on sunny afternoons, Ethel might just be your perfect match.
