Description:
Genie is a fantastic dog! She is friendly, affectionate, smart, eager to learn and to please, and completely housebroken. She can be left loose in the house and she doesn't touch anything that she isn't supposed to.  She plays nicely with my dogs, doesn't bother the cats, and she takes treats very gently from my hands.  She is a very quick learner! In just a short time she has learned to sit on command, shake hands on command, and lay down on command, all in exchange for a treat. She is very good about coming when called and she likes to hang out laying on the floor near where I am.  We took Genie to the dog park  and she  very good, was polite to other dogs and people, didn't try to jump on anyone, and she played calmly with the other dogs. She kept an eye on where we were and came back and checked in with us often, never straying far from where we were. The most important thing that Genie needs to learn right now is to walk nicely on a leash without pulling. I haven't noticed Genie being overly energetic or having any trouble sitting or laying still. She has been very calm at our house, in the yard, in the car, and at the dog park. She listens well and minds well.  I'm working on some obedience skills with her right now and I plan to start her in agility classes on Tuesday, July 24. I think Genie would make a great dog for obedience, agility, therapy dog work, or as a service dog. She just needs the appropriate training. She has the right personality for any of those things.   Genie is up-to-date on all of her vaccinations and is spayed so she is all ready to go to her forever home!
 

Last Day Dog Rescue now microchips all animals before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the animals shoulder blades and are a permanent form of identification. The microchips are registered to Last Day Dog Rescue with the adopter's info added once adopted. If the animal is ever lost and slips his/her collar/tags the microchip allows the finder to know who to contact if scanned for a microchip. Animals MUST still have a collar with tags on at all times. Per our contract, we take all our animals back if for any reason you can't keep your adopted animal.

Please understand the statements about this animal are based upon the foster home's evaluation of the animal. The animal might behave differently (negatively or positively) in your home. While the animal might be good with the current foster’s dogs, cats, children, etc., it may not be with your animal(s) or children. The animal may be housebroken or litter trained in the home of the foster but may relapse in your home. The animal is represented to the public as it performs in the foster home and any statements made regarding the animal are conditional to that foster home setting. Please understand that statements made regarding this animal are simply overviews and are not guaranteed.

The Petfinder.com system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our animals. Visual breed identification in animals is unreliable so for most of the animals we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each animal as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our animals based on personality, not by breed label.

Thank you for looking through our list of animals needing forever homes and choosing rescue first. We appreciate you stopping by.
