Chloe

Profile

 In memory of Lacey, the best dog a family could ask for

I would like everyone to meet with Chloe, she is a now retired backyard breeder who came to Ragom with 8 other dogs on Independence week-end. This is the way to start a new life!! Chloe's birthday is 2/20/2004, which would make her 6.5 yrs old and she weighs in at 62.7 lbs; I was completely amazed how social she was!! She LOVES people, tail wagging all the time and please pet me now look, she even does the paw on the arm thing if your thinking of trying to quit petting her. She is still unsure of the car thing but this is getting better every trip, she enjoys the ride but the jumping in thing spooks her. She has no issues with linoleum or wood floors, she goes in and out of doors just fine and stairs are mastered too.

The first night in her new foster home, the TV frightened her; she had no idea what that sound was and where was it coming from. She will bark at dogs on the TV and if puppies are whining she will listen to them and tip her head as if where are they. The vacuum she does not like but will go hide in the kitchen under the table (safe spot).

Chloe seems to be housebroken, as she has had no accidents so far; when she needs to go out she starts a nervous panting. She has had free roam of this house from day one and no accidents.

Chloe has fallen into the routine here really well, but she still does not like to eat real regularly. We give her alittle can food in with her kibble twice a day, and she eats the can food and always leaves some kibble in the bowl everytime.

Her vet check came in with a clean bill of health and she was spayed on Tues, July 13. My vet keeps all dogs overnight after spaying, but I get a call the next morning from the vet asking me what time was I thinking of picking her up as she opened her incision during the night. They needed to put her back under and close her back up again. Last words the vet stated to me were make sure she wears her "E-cone" at all times she is left unattended. She goes back in on Thurs, July 29 for stitch removal and she has been good about not touching her incision since.

Chloe's future home should have the following:

Another confident resident dag.
No small children under 8 years old
Physical fence would be ideal, as she does not potty on the leach.

If you would like to meet Chloe, please contact your placement coordinator.

Foster mom, Missy and Ali
