Sake is a sweet girl with a lot of love. She came to us with some pretty severe allergies and ear infections which caused a LOT of hair loss and discomfort. Since we’ve been treating her she’s grown back so much of her hair and she keeps growing back more on a daily basis. She has been allergy tested and is being treated, and is also doing great on her allergy medication. Sake gets along well with the cat in the house, occasionally gets spunky and wants to play, but the cat will have none of that. She gets along well with the resident female dog in her foster home and knows sit, shake, down, and stay, and listens very well if you ask her to get down from the bed or the couch. She’ll do anything for a treat, which makes it very easy to train her or give her meds. Sake will need the occasional medicated bath which she tolerates pretty well. And good treats like hot dog chunks make her like it more and more each time! Now that she’s feeling better, Sake is really coming into her own. She’s housebroken, does well on leash, she’s the perfect medium size, and she’d love to meet YOU! She takes several meetings to warm up to new people, so we will not be placing her farther than a 2 hour drive away from the Capital District.
