**May need to be the only dog

Blanche here is still hoping to get a temp foster from Friday, Dec 18 – Friday, Jan 2 while her foster is away. She is 8 years old and weighs 56lbs. She needs a home without young kids and will need to meet any dogs in the home before going to temp foster. She may prefer to be an only dog. We do not know how she is with cats.  She has been living with her current foster for a little over a month now and has been doing great!

Here is a note from her foster:

“Blanche is an 8 yo pit/lab mix that came to me about a month ago.  She is a delightful, sweet and tender girl that loves affection and relaxing strokes.  She’s a bit shy initially but really blossoms when we go out exploring outside or in the woods…nose to the ground constantly sniffing and totally fascinated by everything going on around her.  Her energy and curiosity belie her age.  As she isn’t a very confident girl, she needs exposure to new things in a calm manner. She sleeps soundly through the night and does well on her own, gated in a bedroom, when I’m away from the house. She enjoys interactive play with me and chewing on her Nylabone or discovering treats in her Kong.  She isn’t a morning eater and isn’t one to overeat.  She gets tasty soft chews when we’re working on some commands like “come” or “quiet”. We’re still working on her loose leash walking skills but she is making so much progress!! She really loves the freedom she gets on the 25′ long line when we’re exploring. She brings joy to those around her everyday!!”
