Meet Gladys!! Gladys is the perfect combination of playful and snuggly. She really enjoys enrichment activities, especially puzzles!

This girl will keep you laughing. When putting on her harness, she raises her front leg all the way up to put it on, and then proceeds to roll over for belly rubs, one of her favorite things!

Gladys is potty trained and crate trained. She jumps right in the crate and waits for her enrichment. We don’t know her past but one of her quirks can be seen when she’s provided with a comfortable crate to sleep in. We have absolutely no idea why, but Gladys will pee on blankets or a bed that’s put in her crate. She apparently hates crate comfort. It’s incredibly strange! Obviously we want to provide her with something soft to lay on, but Gladys isn’t having it. Save yourself the headache and laundry and put her in a barren crate with her toys/enrichment. That’s Gladys’ preference.

She is a great leash walker, only pulling occasionally. She likes a leisurely stroll where she can take in the different smells on her walk.

Gladys loves children. She really enjoys playing and hanging out with her foster’s 10 year-old granddaughter. She’s also dog friendly but does require SLOW introductions. She’s currently living with large and small dogs. Initially she starts out being “bossy”, but given time, she coexists and plays nicely with a canine companion. Slow intros are a MUST though.
