mama llama

Meet Mama Llama (ACCT-A-247962)! This happy, high-energy girl is looking for an active family to keep up with her fun-loving personality. If you are searching for a dog who is always ready for an adventure and has a permanent case of the "zoomies," Mama Llama might be your perfect match.

Mama Llama is a social butterfly who absolutely loves people. She is known at the shelter for her "puppy-like" energy—she’s often so excited to say hello that she’ll wiggle her whole body and jump up to give you soft, panting greetings. She already knows how to "Sit" and is very motivated by treats, which makes her a great candidate for continued training.

In the yard, Mama Llama is a total joy to watch. She loves to chase toys and explore every nook and cranny. While she is still working on her leash manners (she’s a strong girl who likes to zig-zag and investigate everything!), she has a heart of gold and just wants to be where the action is. After she’s burned off some of her signature energy, she’s happy to soak up all the pets and attention you can give her.

Mama Llama has also spent some time in playgroups with other dogs, where she showed off her rowdy and playful side. She is looking for a home that appreciates her zest for life and can provide her with the exercise and mental stimulation she craves. If you’re ready for a lifetime of laughs and active fun, come meet Mama Llama today!

⭐Behavioral Notes⭐
Per volunteer 4/20:
Kennel Presentation: jumping up on bars. Panting, ears forward, wagging tail. Opened the kennel door and she continued jumping up towards me with soft eyes and panting. It took a while to get her leashed as she was jumping and pushed. A few times I by accidentally got her leg and neck, she had no problem with me adjusting.
Leash Skills: pulls strongly on leash, zig zags. Was jumping towards other kennels and vocalizing in the kennels. Outside also baked towards other dogs.
Sociability: mostly had zoomies around the yard. Allowed me to get a few pets in but did not sit still long. Experienced no mouthiness. Was unable to see how she took treats as she was getting surgery that day.
Play: would chase after toys but never took possession.
Dog Interaction: n/a
Return to Kennel: pulling and barking towards other dogs kennels. Allowed me to clip her leash with some looking back. Walked right into the kennel.
Color Level: experienced blue
Recommendations and considerations: making experienced blue due to energy level, leash behavior and dog reactivity.

Per staff 4/18: Was a little mouthy during adoption meet. Not hard mouthing but puppy energy mouthing. Was chewing on everyone's arms a little bit but would also use her canines to pull the adopters around.

Per staff 4/17, playgroup: Steerable with water and shake can (3/5). Aroused during gate greetings, especially in response to barking from Dru. On entry, immediately greeted Labello with a high tail then shortly after leapt into bounding around, some push/pull and (attempts at) rough/rowdy play. Engaged in push/pull play with Hazel and Labello. Was corrected by Bosco for space with a quick bark, which she heard and respected.

Per staff 4/17: Finder confirmed no behavioral concerns, dog is very friendly just really energetic. While in intake she was very friendly. Understands command "Sit" & excited for treats.

Per finder 4/17: Very active around children. Used a leash to bring her in, she is very wild & active. She does scratch alot. Aggressive, playful.
