Alma has adapted well to her foster home. She has learned quickly which things are toys and which are not (e.g., socks and shoes), and responds well to correction. She loves all kinds of toys - squeaky stuffed animals, tennis balls, frisbees, and ropes. She will play fetch in the yard, and is really good at chasing down the ball but not always bringing it back - still working on it! She also likes to chew on nylabones and antlers for short periods each day.

Daily walks are another favorite activity. She sits nicely while her leash is attached, and trots along without pulling or biting at the leash. She has grown significantly in her confidence and calmness on walks, though is still skittish of really loud noises like garbage trucks or sudden movements like bikers passing by very closely. She is a bit nervous and shy in new situations and meeting new people. She would love to go to puppy classes to challenge her brain and grow in her confidence!

She is doing excellent at potty-training, with just a few accidents in the house primarily because the humans missed seeing her cues (she tends to pace around when she needs to potty). She sleeps through the night without a potty break with no problems, and does not have accidents in her crate. She is crated when home alone, and will go into the crate with gentle coaxing. She may whine or cry for a minute or two, but then settles in quietly.

Alma loves both playing and snuggling. She will lay on your lap if allowed, or burrow right up next to you on the couch for reading or movie time. She's an adorable pup who is really starting to flourish after her extended stay in the shelter. She's looking for a forever family that will help her on this journey to become the calm, confident adventurer she's certainly meant to be!
