Cricket was rescued from a shelter in Alabama. Up to date on shots, heartworm negative, spayed. Seems to prefer women to men. New home must have a securely fenced yard. She is 2 1/2 yrs old and weighs 9 1/4 lbs. Cricket entertains herself and will run and play with other dogs once she is used to them. However, she needs a home that can focus attention on her in order to complete her socialization. She is very timid in general. Her playing is to come within five feet of you and not get any closer. She isn't afraid or a danger to children but would probably come around faster without them. She is very sweet and loving once she is with you however it can be frustrating which she is dancing just outside of your reach. Based on the behavior we have seen, we believe Cricket's former life was to be banned in the backyard. She will not cross the threshold into the living quarters of the house unless carried, but once there will stay wherever you put her. She acts as though she had previously been punished for coming in and running around. Adoption Fee $200.
