This charming girl adores people and is always ready to make new friends, often enthusiastically introducing herself with a cheerful jump and a wagging tail. Babs is still learning the ropes of home life and is making fantastic progress with her training every week. She has taken well to crate training, which helps her feel safe and secure, and is learning to art of doing nothing but relaxing. She’s a clever, determined dog who loves a challenge – especially if that challenge involves finding human snacks!
Like many young-at-heart dogs, Babs can be excitable and occasionally forget her manners, so she’ll need patient adopters who can continue her training and provide consistent boundaries. She’s looking for a home where she can build confidence at her own pace and enjoy quieter walks while continuing to work on her dog social skills. If you're prepared to invest a little time and training into this special girl, Babs is ready to reward you with endless affection, laughter and love.
Most dogs want to meet others and it is important for them to have the opportunity to display their natural social behaviours and improve their doggie greetings.
