Our Foster Dog, Stoli
Stoli is a wriggly, happy pocket pittie full of love. She adores attention, but can amuse herself with a toy or bone while she lays near you. While she hasn’t had much practice yet, she shows a lot of promise in developing her couch potato skills after a long walk or jog by your side.
Name: Stoli
Shelter: Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society
Fostered by: Central Bark Doggy Day Care Philadelphia
Age: ~ 1 year (full grown)
Sex: Female
Size: 30 pounds
Special needs: Deaf dog
Activity Level: high/moderate
Likes: Planet Dog bones, fresh marrow bones, warm fuzzy sweaters & blankets, falling asleep in your lap, treats, agility training
Dislikes: Being alone, dogs that try to “dominate” her or sneak up on her (because she’s deaf, it’s a little scary)
She is a very happy girl – happy to meet everyone she gets a chance to, happy to see the staff coming in to our shop every day, and happy to eat her dinner. We’ve been working with her on the agility equipment and she picks up new skills very quickly – she’s highly food motivated!
Stoli should go to a home with older children, who can understand her disability. She is not great with cats, but is learning that they are not toys or prey while she is with us. She should go to a home with dog experience – and her new owners should be ready to work on her training. As a deaf dog, many cues regularly relied upon by humans for dog obedience do not apply to her!
