MaCherie (French for “My Darling”) is a happy and affectionate young dog who forms deep bonds with her people.
Though timid in new situations, she is eager to connect. Once she is comfortable, this beautiful girl loves to be part of the action and stay in the mix. A devoted companion, she wants to be close and involved with her person or people, following you around to see what’s going on.
MaCherie embodies the best combination of playful and calm. She enjoys toys, chewing on bones, training with treats, and getting her energy out in the yard and on walks — and then she’s equally content to relax and snooze —with her head on your foot.
• Female, spayed, 48 pounds, perfect health
• Shy at first, then very people-focused
• Loves to give and receive affection
• Curious and intelligent
• Very athletic: she has real agility potential!
• Housebroken
• Well behaved in the car
• Knows “sit”, “shake”, “here”, and “get in your crate”
• Stays off furniture, except her designated porch futon
• Playful: loves toys, bones, treats, and whatever you’re doing
• May coexist with the right dog after slow, structured introductions.
MaCherie will be a marvelous addition to an active (but not chaotic) household where she can be included and gain confidence at her own pace. She is not a good fit for homes with cats, due to her strong prey drive, or small children, due to her strength and energy.
MaCherie will thrive with a canine-savvy, patient adopter who enjoys training and working with an intelligent, athletic rescue dog.
Sometimes on walks and in other situations, MaCherie gets overstimulated and displays bursts of high-intensity behavior, misplacing her excitement onto the leash and/or the person with her. These moments require a confident, experienced handler who can calmly help her settle back down. With proper guidance, she returns to her normal sweet self within minutes. She will do best with an adopter comfortable handling a strong dog, and committed to continuing her impulse control training. MaCherie has already come a long way on this and continues to improve!
When MaCherie bonds with you, she gives her whole heart. She wants to do the right thing and looks to you for guidance. Give her time to adjust and a little training (oh and a spot to sunbathe!), and she will repay you by being your unbelievably loyal and loving companion.
