Gracie has been with Meadowlake for almost 3 weeks now. We're happy to say that she is doing very well! Tori Hankey, Meadowlake's Trainer, shares, "She is still nervous in new rooms, but has become very comfortable and happy in her lodging area. The noises of the office still catch her attention – mainly the printer when in use, but I reward her with a treat each time. When in a new room with new people she paces and pants, but we are working to help her understand that every place is positive. After about 20 minutes she will calm down and settle. She responds very well to a verbal correction and loves human attention. She is eating well, enjoys playing, and has adjusted very well to her daily routine!" Gracie will be evaluated for Doggie Daycare on Monday, May 9th. If she passes, she will participate in daycare two or three times a week.
Tori continues, "Gracie has sucessfully learned sit, down, come, and is learning to keep all four paws on the ground with the command off. Overall she is doing great. Everyone loves her, and we are spreading the word about her in order to find her a home!"
