Shorty is the sweetest girl! At 20 pounds, she could lose a few but she loves to go for walks, wander around the yard and nap in the sun. She is house trained. She's not a fan of the crate but will go in for a snack. She whines a little at first but settles quickly. She loves to follow her foster mom around and loves to be in her lap. She is great with the 4 bigger dogs in the foster home. We have not heard her bark.
