About Flittle
- Age: 8 months
- Breed: Mixed breed, possibly Jack Russell Terrier mix
- Weight: 11 lbs
- Gender: Female
Flittle started her young life as a stray but has quickly adapted to apartment life in her foster home. This playful and smart pup is ready to find her forever family and join in on all your adventures!
What Flittle Needs
Flittle is looking for an experienced adopter who:
- Understands the needs of a young puppy, including daily exercise, play, and training.
- Is ready to help her build confidence using positive reinforcement to reduce her fearful behavior.
- Can provide a dog-savvy household that’s prepared for some puppy mischief (like exploring with her mouth).
Flittle’s Personality and Training
- Wary but warms up: Flittle is cautious around new people and dogs but warms up with patience, going slow, and tasty treats.
- Highly food-motivated: This makes training a breeze! She’s already learned Sit, Down, Sit Up, Spin, Touch, Paw, and High Five!
- Potty training: Well on her way but still needs a consistent routine.
- Energy and curiosity: Flittle loves walks, sniffing adventures, and playing, but she’s still learning boundaries with things like hands, plants, and furniture.
- Alert barker: She’ll let you know if neighbors walk by the door but quiets down quickly.
Why Flittle Stands Out
This little lady is smart, eager to learn, and full of puppy energy. With the right home, she’s sure to thrive and grow into a loving companion. Flittle would do best in a household where her mental and physical needs are met daily, and where she can continue her training to feel safe and confident.
