Last call for sweet DOWNEY A2281871 she is on the euth list for 11-13-24
In since March 26th she is a 43 pound spayed 3 year old. She came to the gate to greet me with relaxed posture and a wagging tail, gently sniffing my hand and taking treats. She is very stressed out and would like to find her home. She is GREAT outside the kennel. Who can blame her! Read all these great notes. She is a petite gal!
Downey is a sweet girl and has a lot of energy! She did well in the car and we took her to a nearby park. Once out of the car, we took her by the leash and jogged with her in the shade for some exercise and she stayed by and did not run ahead. After taking a break and drinking water, she explored along a fence. She took treats gently and responded to the sit command well. We brought out a toy and noticed a strong guarding focus so we took it away from her the rest of the outing. Since it was getting hot out we brought her over to the dog water fountain and wet her downâshe really enjoyed it and wasnât afraid of the water.
10/15/24 14:40 Foster Note: Downey is a sweet, energetic dog who loves to play with toys and enjoy the hose. At the park, she prefers to explore on her own, sniffing around and occasionally playing fetch. While she can be selective around more assertive dogs and sometimes shows food protection, she generally gets along well. She did great in the car alongside our dog and cat during car rides. She behaved exceptionally well, didnât bark, and loved to sniff and explore stops. At our familyâs house, she also did well and got along with the other dogs. Downey enjoys going for walks and playing with toys, although she can be protective of them at times. She enjoys being in the pool where she can stand and loves to see her own reflection. She is crate trained and loves to sleep on her blanket. A very cuddly girl, she gets excited when she sees us, loves pets but also likes to explore on her own. Fun fact about Downey, she is scared of barking and water bottles but not of the leaf blower or hair dryer. She is mostly house trained and learns more every day with a routine. Downey is a wonderful dog who will surely bring joy and adventure to your life. We feel she would do best in a house as solo companion and with older children.
Downey is a 3-year-old spayed Pittie mix who came who was surrendered to PRC late March due to not having enough time for her. She is about 40 pound and heartworm negative. She has done well interacting with staff and volunteers at the shelter.
she was surrendered to us by her owner who worked long hours and didn't have the necessary time for her and the other dog in the house not getting along with her. She is potty trained and crate trained. She has done great around all adults has never been around young kids. She did well in the house with the other dogs she just does tend to jump to play. She does like to be left alone when it comes to eating so there is some slight food aggression. Her owner stated he does believe she might have some visual impairments as she tends to run into things but she is a super sweet, high energy dog who loves toys and wants all the attention and love. She does have an allergy to chicken and does jump up o.
Our staff unfortunately has been noticing elevating FAS related behaviors such as pacing, high pitched barking/whining, and excessive panting when observed in her kennel. She is gentle/dainty tolerant in playgroup, allowing greetings though still a bit stiff though gives good corrections. We are hoping to find Downey placement soon that can help her decompress outside of the shelter environment! If you are able to assist, please let us know as soon as possible!

Since it was getting hot out we brought her over to the dog water fountain and wet her downâshe really enjoyed it and wasnât afraid of the water.
We practiced walking in a straight line and she listened well to input. There were squirrels off in the distance and she observed but didnât react. A person walked by with a dog and Downey observed and showed interest but didnât bark or lunge, and with quick correction she settled. She did appear slightly nervous and would calm down with a mozzarella stick treat. We left the park and went to get takeaway lunch and while we waited in our parked car, people would walk right by and Downey did not bark, just observed. She did bark once when tried to reach for a treat she didn't eat and she did give warning. She may do best in a mature household that can provide her support and training! Overall, Downey loves to be pet and loves attention. When settled and calm she is playful and likes belly rubs!
