Hey there! I'm Cindy Lou, the perfect playmate! I'm enormous fun and super clever. I have loads of energy and love learning agility tricks. Oh, and there's a creek behind the shelter - LOVE paddling around in that! Oh gosh, I'm excited just thinking about all the fun things I can do! I sure hope my future owner enjoys hiking and having fun outdoors - that would be the best thing ever! We could go camping and run the trails and climb and OH MY GOSH that would be amazing! I would also love to play on an obstacle course in the back yard. THAT WOULD BE AMAZING TOO! WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SO MUCH FUN! I guess I need to slow down a second and actually meet my forever human first, though. Waiting can be so hard! I'm still learning how to not pull on my leash, but I do love my treats so that encourages me to work on it. Plus there are some things my future human should know about me. I was likely abused when I was younger. I was found as a stray so my history is pretty mysterious, but I flinch and close my eyes when hands are waved around my head. I also find it really suss when someone grabs my neck. This has given me a history of nipping, which means I must be in a home without small children. It doesn't help that I have a tendency to jump up and nip your sleeve when I'm frustrated or excited - I'm a little too powerful to do that with a small kid! I'm really working on trust, and in my last home I even met a few kids! And finally, I really do NOT like other animals. They're stinky and stupid! This means I need to be kept under control with a harness or head collar when I go for walks in areas popular with other dog walkers, and I would benefit from a desensitization program with a professional dog trainer. For this reason, I CANNOT go to dog parks or be off leash. Sounds like a lot of conditions, doesn't it? Man, I'm sorry about that. I really just want to make a best friend that can snuggle up on a couch with or go for hikes with when the weather is beautiful. I truly am a happy girl who always has a smile in her eyes. I love snuggles and chewing on a nylabone as much as I love going for adventures. What I really want is to have an amazing human I can spend my life with. Do you think that could be you?
