Archer

Fill out an adoption form

Archer is a gorgeous, sweet girl who would do best in a quieter home without much people traffic. Sudden noises and a lot of “goings on” seem to stress her. Recently she lived with another dog about her size and enjoyed her company and joyful interaction. We do believe she would do best in a home with another playful dog, as this will help her to continue to learn to be confident and trusting.

Her foster calls her energetic and goofy, especially when she is around other dogs. She is still a bit cautious when it comes to human interaction, but warms up quickly. She has not shown any aggression at all. You can take a toy away from her without issues and she is starting to enjoy belly rubs and neck scratches very much.

Archer has been exposed to cats, chickens and ducks and has done very well, despite a strong prey drive when outside with field mice, squirrels. She will walk on a leash without pulling, although her nose pulls her from side to side as she follows the good smells. She really enjoys the sights, sounds and smells of a leash walk, but doesn’t connect it with relieving herself yet. She is progressing very well with housetraining, just not quite there. Her most recent home allowed her to roam in a fenced area and that is how she is most comfortable answering nature’s call.

A fenced yard in her new home would be ideal.

Archer is crate trained and actually enjoys being in her “little home”. She is crated when left alone in the house as she has not yet learned what is a dog toy as opposed to an off-limits household item. Chew toys and squeaky things delight her.

This beautiful girl lived a life of outside isolation in all types of weather her entire life. She will need time and patience to flourish to become the best dog she can be. She is smart and eager to please though, and has an abundance of gentle love and energetic fun to offer to her forever home. If you want to be part of her continued journey, please consider her!
