She’s just a gal who loves her walks and chasing squirrels… and being with her humans, of course! Meet LURA. Highly affectionate, LURA enjoys being around her people and uses every chance she gets for pats and snuggles. On the flip side, she can be independent, easily entertaining herself with toys. The confidence she’s gained lately has encouraged her to come out of her shell, progressing from reserved and shy to playful and outgoing. Such progress!

At home, LURA has been busy learning new commands. Now and again, she might test a boundary. It’s important you reinforce them in such situations, as she thrives on structure, which is what rules provide. Lately, LURA has also been improving on her leash walking skills. Working through some leash reactivity, LURA has been receptive to her foster family’s training. Now she passes dogs without being vocal, provided her human is advocating for her space and responds with corrections when needed. She coexists well with dogs after a slow introduction!

Sure, she might be (somewhat) lower in energy, BUT that doesn’t mean she doesn’t need exercise and mental stimulation… of course she does! This gal loves to explore, which she does by checking out new walking routes and sniffing all the smells that she comes across in the neighbourhood. With her prey drive, you’ll likely find she’s interested in going after a squirrel or rabbit when outside, making it necessary to redirect her attention back to you while on a walk.

LURA enjoys using her crate as her personal space for downtime and often uses it all on her own. On the whole, she’s well suited to quieter home environments. That said, know that it could also bring her a lot of joy, living in a home with kids. She loves meeting new people, showing how calm and welcoming she is. We can’t wait for you to meet her.
