Foxy (we call her Scooter)is a sweet old girl.  She was a stray brought to animal control and we are fostering her until she can have a forever home.  We think she is 8 yrs old or so.  She is very quiet and calm and did not even flinch when introduced to the other dogs and cats in our household.  She appears to be housebroken and quietly goes to the door when she needs to go out.  We had a few piddle accidents the first few days home as we were first letting her roam free in the house with the other dogs and learning her signals for needing to go outside.   She really enjoys wandering around our fenced yard exploring and house and sniffing every inch of the property.  She does not fetch or really play with other dogs, although she gets along fine with our pack of dogs and cats. She stood still and did not mind getting a bath the day she came to our house. She does not respond to the name “Foxy”, so we started play with different sounding names and got a bit of a response from her with the name “Scooter”.  She is not leash trained or follow simple commands, but is totally controllable.  She walks fine on the leash, just roams around.  We are working on teaching her these things.  She is low energy and low maintenance so far with us.  We have never heard her bark. We think she may have been just a breeding dog without a whole lot of training or attention from people.  She has obviously had a few litters.  We have given her unsupervised time in the house a few hours at a time and she did not get in to or chew up anything.  She is protective of her food from other animals, not humans, and would best be fed by herself if there are other animals in the house.  We just give her meals in one of our indoor crates. She is a very sweet and calm dog and will make a very nice pet and deserves an nice place to call her own.  Please email Julie if you are interested at mailto:steven49@msu.edu.  All adoption information, fee and medical records are through HATS.
