Flaire ~ 2yo Staffy X girl (on trial 14/08/16)

Hey, let me introduce myself - My name’s Flaire. I’m a beautiful 2 year old Staffy X girl. My foster Mum thinks I’m pretty because I have permanent eyeliner and lippy. It’s true, just check out my pics.

I live with my foster Mum and Dad and my 2 teenage foster brothers. When my foster family comes home after being out for a while I get so excited I do a little dance for them - which they think is really cute. I love being part of a family. I love to spend time playing with my foster family, going for walks, getting lots of attention and pats and I make a great study buddy.

Spending lots of time with my family is really important to me. Whether they’re inside or outside I want to be involved in all the action. And if they want to take me somewhere in the car, then that’s OK too. My favourite games are tug-of-war and fetch. I especially love tug-of-war and I try really hard to pull my big foster brothers off their feet. I haven’t played with any little people yet, but I have let them pat me while I sit or stand quietly. Even though I love people and dogs,
I think birds are toys and want to chase them. I don’t know what pocket pets or cats are because I haven’t met any.

When I go for walks I like to do a lot of sniffing – you know, checking out the neighbourhood. But I walk well on the lead and know how to stop and wait before I cross the road. I love meeting new friends whether they’re the human or doggie kind. I’m a bit of a social butterfly and want to say “Hello” to every dog I see. I’m even happy to go to the vet because you never know who you’ll meet. When I’m out everyone says what a beautiful girl I am and how well behaved I am – it makes my foster Mum proud.

My house training is going OK. My foster Mum bought me this really cool doggie door so I can go in and out whenever I want. Not quite 100% in this area but I’m getting better and can go for days without disgracing myself. I know my name and come when I’m called – well most of the time anyway. I’ve just started going to dog training and I think I’m really going to like that.

I love my food and treats (I sit for treats), but I’m not food aggressive and am happy to share treats with others. I’m very quiet. I haven’t barked yet but I make happy, growly noises when I’m scratching my back on the carpet. Oh, and I love tummy rubs.

Are you an active family that needs a lot of love? If you are then I have a lot of love to give! Could you be the perfect family for me?
