Name:   Shaylee Arundel (now LeeLoo)  

Description:   ~ 8 months old ~ 43 lbs ~ Hound Mix ~ fostered in Sterling, VA at Healthy Hounds Playground ~

She is quite literally the perfect dog. She is pure love, not an aggressive bone in her body (though she will defend herself - our 15 year old beagle mix snapped at her when she got close while he was getting pets). All she wants to do is cuddle and give kisses. She gets along well with our other dogs (aside from the warning from Hogan). She is energetic and loves to play. When I picked her up from day care today she was soaking wet from playing with another pup(s). She seems to be house broken and does very well in a crate - not a peep coming home from Baltimore. She likes treats and eats her meals but doesn't seem to be a food hound. Although she is a puppy and wants lots of attention, if you ignore her and start doing something like working on the computer, reading, watching TV, she just lays down and hangs out. Our staff immediately has fallen in love and she makes human and dog friends wherever she goes.

Success Story:   We have changed her name to Leeloo. She has been responding to it very well, better than she was responding to Shaylee for us.
She loves copying her new brother Jack our 8 year old chow husky mix. We find them curled up together on their dog bed a lot! She has been very gentle with our 16 year old lab giving her plenty of space and understanding she doesn't want to play. Leeloo has been wonderful for Jack, she has gotten him to start playing again and be less of an old man.
She still loves to cuddle, and the expects it every morning after breakfast and every night before going into her crate. She is learning her manners well, as with any puppy it takes time but she picks up on what our other two dogs do and has started copying them. For example they sit to get their leashes on or off and she does that now without being prompted.
She has been the perfect fit so far!
