She is a very calm girl who gets along with the four other dogs in the house, but is probably a little bit too interested in the resident cat. This is a go with the flow girl who loves the foster mom's 15 month old granddaughter and would be fine in a home with children. She is outgoing and greets the many visitors to the foster home with enthusiasm, but she is not so sure of the cold weather we've been having. She does her business outside quickly and comes right back in quickly. She knows she's not in Florida anymore.

She learned to do stairs right away and has a happy waggy tail and such a sweet personality.
