MEDICAL HOLD LIFTED 11/14/2024 - Available for adoption
Mooch (Eclipse) is the sweetest! Her medical hold has been released and she is ready to find her furever home.
Personal space is not a thing for her. If she can get closer, she will! She is good about moving over to her own space when asked…along with a little assist in getting there
Mooch is a treat girl so she is very trainable. Her sit is pretty reliable but we are now working on adding some distance along with the command.
The big win of the week was loading into the truck. Last week she had to be lifted into the truck as she was so fearful. This week, in and out like a champ! She also wasn’t a fan of riding in the truck but the one trip we made this week went well. We also tried loading into our car which meant starting over with the exposure since it was a different vehicle. She was comfortable with that after a few demos by her foster brother and a short period of training.
Mooch is crate trained and likes to spend time in there. She finds comfort in the crate and uses it as a safe space. She keeps a number of stuffed animals close by in the crate. Mooch sleeps in her kennel at night but there is a high likelihood she would be happy to sleep in bed with you. Every morning she goes straight from her kennel to the bed so she can snuggle with whomever is last to get up! If she was to stay in the kennel overnight, she needs to be able to see her people from the kennel or she cries.
She loves her stuffed animals. She regularly carries them around the house and presents them to us. If we throw them she chases after to bring them back for another round of fetch.
No accidents in the house!!! She still doesn’t have a clear sign as to when she wants to go out. She goes out on a regular basis and there haven’t been any issues.
We can’t convince her to go down the basement stairs, even when her foster brothers have shown her how to do it. That will be a project for next week.
Mooch’s other adventure for this week is a trip to Home Depot. We are hoping to make it inside but maybe won’t get past the parking lot. We will see what she is ready for and not push too hard with all the new adventures!
Medical HOLD 11/05/2024
Hello world! I'm Eclipse although my foster parents call me Mooch. I'm just over a year old. I quickly earned this name upon arrival when I helped my foster brothers with their lunch. They've clearly never had to scramble for every scrap of food. I'm happy I no longer have to live outside waiting for my turn to become a breeder dog. I do have to say I'm a little freaked out by the big world I'm now in, but I'm very brave and trying hard to embrace new experiences like truck rides, thresholds of doors, garages, and vinyl floors to name a few. Truck rides are getting a little better, I've mastered the front door, sliding glass patio and screen door, and just in the last two days channeled my inner Wonder Woman and checked out the garage. Not bad for only a week and a half in.
