Meet Egypt

Egypt is a very happy, affectionate and loving girl once she warms up to the people she loves. She is extremely potty trained and would be great with a working person (she can hold her bladder for a whole work day). She loves to run outside and chase her toys around. She super fast darting everywhere. She is so happy to see her foster mom and loves to give kisses and snuggle. However, she’s been fearful around new people and takes a while to warm up, especially with men. The keys to her heart are treats and play time! A game of fetch can make her forget all about her fears. Egypt is easily excitable and can be jumpy and mouthy, but is working on this in her foster home. She calms down quickly and responds to correction. Egypt has loved to play with other dogs in the past, but for right now her ideal home is as the only pet. After about a week in her current foster home she’s able to calmly coexist with the other dogs but she is not interested in being their friend. She has a very strong prey drive so no cats for this girl! Egypt and her foster family are working with a trainer to help her overcome her anxieties and learn better manners. She needs an adopter who is understanding of her boundaries and committed to continuing her training. is up to date on vaccinations and is spayed or neutered.
