Cutie

Animal Information: Cutie arrived in Washington in April of 2026 from Dallas Animal Services. She is estimated to be just over a year old, weighs 35lbs, and is a happy, playful and friendly girl who loves her dog friends.

Foster Profile: Cutie is an energetic, playful, and affectionate dog who loves people. She is very friendly with everyone she meets and enjoys pets, scratches, and simply being close to her people. She often leans against me while observing what's going on around her. She knows her name, comes when called about 90%% of the time, and is a smart dog who picks up on things quickly.

She loves toys, especially tug and fetch, and reliably brings toys back. She has developed a great play dynamic with Rogue, and the two enjoy playing tug with the Hol-ee ball together. Rogue has been surprisingly patient with her and seems to have taken on a bit of a motherly role.

Cutie can become very overstimulated around other dogs and struggles to read their social cues. She tends to be persistent even when another dog communicates that they need space. She can be overwhelming with her enthusiasm, pawing at faces and jumping on other dogs. I think she would do best as an only dog or with a very tolerant dog who enjoys her rambunctious play style. Continued socialization and learning appropriate dog interactions will be important.

She can also be mouthy, sometimes going for hands when being petted or nipping when physical pressure is applied. She has some herding tendencies and uses her mouth when interacting, so I would be cautious about placing her with young children.

Cutie would likely be a great match for an active adult or couple without children who can give her plenty of exercise, enrichment, and continued guidance. She is excellent in her crate, settles quickly, is not vocal, sleeps through the night, and has had no crate accidents. She knows how to settle with a chew and goes into her crate willingly most of the time.

She is a quick learner and has already made good progress with her manners, including learning not to jump up. Overall, Cutie is a really sweet, affectionate dog with lots of personality. With the right home and continued guidance, she has the potential to be a wonderful companion.
