From the Foster:
Bonnie Blue didn't catch on too quickly to her shelter name, so we have been calling her Zelda :) She likes to play with other dogs, and it working on learning their cues to let her know when they've had enough ;) Beyond that she is a sweetheart. She loves to snuggle and play with our two young kids. She does have nipping herding dog tendencies though, so she would do best with older, considerate children. She loves to fetch tennis balls in the yard and enjoys rope and chew toys. She has a bladder of steel and has had no accidents. She also has yet to go while on leash. So a fenced yard is a must for her, but she can be trained to go while on a walk. She does ok in a kennel but is vocal at first so apartments probably aren't in her future. She has completed Basic Obedience at Twin Cities Obedience Training Club and is a very smart girl!
All dogs are in individual foster homes throughout the Twin Cities.
