REMI IS LOCATED IN NEWTOWN PA.
Remi (formerly known as Moana) is a super cuddly, sweet, and affectionate girl who loves to cozy up with her people on the couch. She enjoys playing toss with her toys and likes both balls and plush toys, although she may become a shredder of plush toys considering how much she chews on them. Speaking of chewing, she also loves bones for chewing on.
Remi is very food motivated and has already learned "sit", "lay down", and "come" very quickly with a voice and/or hand command. She is respectful of her foster senior dog and would greatly benefit from living with another confident dog that likes to play and can show her the ropes. Remi doesn't pay much attention to her foster cats and also quite respectful of them. She is, however, interested in squirrels outside. :)
Remi makes the cutest noises and grumbles when she sleeps. She allows her foster mom to trim her nails with no problem a all! She's not a fan of bath time yet, but she's working on it.
She is working on housetraining and has had some success. Remi is fearful on the leash when seeing another human or dog and tends to either freeze, pull, &/or run. She likes to be close to her home base, so short walks is all she's comfortable with for now. She is fearful of loud noises, children, and bikes. In time, she may become more comfortable with some or all of these things but it will take time.
Remi is crate trained and sleeps 7+ hours a night in her crate without making a peep! During the day, when left alone, she does cry/whine in her crate but will eventually calm down. She also cries/whines when her humans are out of her sight - even when they are all together in the home. With trust and comfort, this may decrease or cease altogether over time.
Remi loves peanut butter, Greek yogurt, and pumpkin. She enjoys being fed in a slow feeder or topple toy as she scarfs her food down very quickly.
Positive Reinforcement Training is suggested for Remi as it would greatly benefit her and help her build confidence.
Remi is looking for a home that has a calmer lifestyle as she takes a bit to warm up to strangers entering the home. She would also love a yard to play in which could help her gain overall confidence being outside. She is a sweet and loving girl who truly wants to please her humans. She has lots of wonderful qualities to share and is looking for someone who is ready to invest the time and love she needs and deserves!
Puppy Adoption Policy:
To ensure proper house training and socialization, puppies will only be adopted to homes where an adult will not be away more than an hour per day, per month of age of the puppy, up to 6 months.
Certain large-breed dogs should not be sterilized prior to 12 - 18 months of age. If you adopt an intact puppy, you will sign an adoption contract agreeing to have the dog sterilized at your expense at the time your veterinarian recommends. Proof of sterilization must be provided to Mastiffs To Mutts Rescue as soon as the procedure is completed. If the puppy is not sterilized as required, Mastiffs To Mutts Rescue reserves the right to claim legal ownership of the dog.
