Benny (DC) is a very affectionate and playful puppy. He is a great companion for humans and fur babies alike, great with dog savy kids. As puppy's will, he gives lots of kisses and some love nips, but a gentle reminder, and he corrects himself. He never misses a meal and is definitely food motivated, which is a bonus for training. He is mostly house trained, a few accidents with his foster, but if you pay attention to his que (sniffing, circling, and waiting by the doors), he will quickly adapt. He loves his human foster sibling, and loves snuggling as much as he loves playing! He loves going for walks and loves any extra attention from human strangers. But as with all of us, he is not perfect, and struggles to make new dog friends. He demands their attention by barking until they acknowledge his desire to play. 

We help Benny with this by socializing and walking him as much as possible. Good behavior gets a treat. He still needs some work with this. He is kennel trained and retreats to the kennel when he is asked or when it's time for bed. During the day, he's kenneled, and no kennel accidents on a full work day. He also does not cry or whine, as he takes advantage of his rest time, so he has more energy to play! He has grown quite fond of his foster family, including his foster brother, a miniature Dachshund. They are the best of friends, as his foster brother is very patient and calm, but he loves to play with him. He likes bones to chew on, playing fetch, and snuggling with lots of belly rubs.

Benny is ready to meet you!

Mimosa, but responds to Mouse, is a fabulous little happy girl. She loves to cuddle, belly rubs, play, explore and be with her people - Whatever you’re doing is what she wants to be doing. 

Mimosa is good with dog savvy cats. 

She has settled in with my dogs for the most part, but because she does love *her* people she can get growly when the other dogs come near us. A quick correction and having her move to the floor for a break settles that. She is also very mouthy during play and most of my dogs don’t appreciate that play style which is tough for her as well. 

Her ideal home would be as a solo pet but she can coexist with most dogs after some time to settle and with some management. 

Mimosa does have a lot of feelings when it comes to strange people and dogs so she can be reactive. She can usually be called off and refocus with some treats. This is something we continue to work on and she is making some decent progress, but she will need an owner willing to commit to her training and helping her grow. 

Mimosa is said to be an escape artist so a secure yard or tether is needed with constant supervision while outside. She rides well in the car, we also use a tether there to play it safe. She walks pretty well on leash after the first couple minutes of initial excitement. She does well being eft home alone, either crated or loose, and does excitement piddle when you come home (she really just loves *her* people!). 

She does shed and will get a decent amount of fur brushed out of her all the time; she is very good with being groomed. 

Mimosa will make a fantastic companion for the right person.
