Animal Bio

A foster-to-adopt option is available for Whitney, giving you the opportunity to spend time together and build a connection before making things official! This beautiful 4-year-old mixed breed is as smart as she is loving. Whitney is house-trained, food-motivated, and already knows basic commands like “sit” and “down.” She thrives with structure, enrichment, and an active lifestyle that lets her explore the world around her—she lives for sniffing in the grass, running in the yard, and going on adventure walks! Whitney has a playful, social side and enjoys rough-and-tumble play with other high-energy dogs. While she’s generally friendly with people, she may be a little unsure when meeting new faces (especially men), but give her time and she’ll reward you with deep loyalty and affection. She’s not crate-trained and can become stressed in a kennel environment. Because she can become overwhelmed in high-stress situations, Whitney would do best in a home without small children. She’d do best in a calm, consistent home that understands how to read her cues and provide safe outlets for her energy. A fenced-in privacy yard is essential, as she’s clever and can scale chain-link fencing. Whitney also has a strong prey drive and will chase small animals, so a home without cats or small critters is best. Once she’s had her exercise and playtime, Whitney is all about relaxing with her favorite humans—she’s a big fan of cuddles on the couch and being your loyal sidekick. Just be sure to provide sturdy chew toys, as she can be tempted by less-durable items if left unattended. Special Bonus: Whitney’s adoption comes with three free professional training sessions, generously sponsored by Subaru, to help ensure a smooth, successful transition into her forever home. If you’re looking for a smart, spirited, and devoted companion to share life’s adventures, Whitney just might be your perfect match. Whitney currently weighs about 55lbs., is approximately 4 years old (est. birth date 03/19/2021), and her adoption fee is $315. Whitney has been spayed, is up to date on all vaccinations & preventatives, and is microchipped.
