Meet Kenza!  She is still new to her foster home but here is what we know about her so far! LOVES kids! She is gentle and calm with them and loves to give them kisses and be with them. She slept in her kennel at night and was ok all night but it took her a while to settle down and the second she saw us this morning she was panting and howling lightly, clearly stressed.  We let her out and she is absolutely perfect.  No potty accidents, no chewing.  So a home that uses a kennel very little or not at all is best for her. We are still doing introductions of her to our resident dogs.  Slow intros to other dogs we feel will be important and we think she would be perfectly fine in a home where she was the only dog too.  Likes cats a lot.  Wants to be right by them.  Dog savvy cats and her could be good buds! She listens REALLY well!  If she is doing something I don't want her to and say "leave it" she will immediately listen and walk away.  She also knows sit, down and shake. EXCELLENT in a vehicle.  Jumps in herself and makes herself at home.  Quiet.  Does NOT exit until you tell her she can. She takes food so so so gently!!  Like moving glass you don't want to break.  Very soft mouth when taking treats. She has the MOST GORGEOUS brown eyes!  You may expect blue due to the breed guess, but they are deep chocolate and so inquisitive.   She loves to play bow and play with toys, especially stuffies!! She will throw them up in the air and catch them and shake them and chew them and repeat.  She finds humor in playing with the toys by herself.  Still working on leash manners as like most her breed, she likes to pull. She is super excited to be with her people, very even temperament and super duper smart!!  She LOVES to be pet, but next to you, not on you, which is a blessing for how big this girl is.  She is ALL LEGS! She is a gem and we will continue to update as we learn more!  Let us know if you think she could be a fit for you!  For now, here are some videos of her too!  Click here and click here.
