About Cricket
Distance: 2,096 Miles
Seeking a hound dog?! Meet Cricket! Cricket is a 2 year old petite plott hound mix weighing 38 pounds.
Cricket is slowly adapting to life outside of the shelter--she spent over a year in an outdoor shelter, so she's not used to the every day happenings of life quite yet. When Cricket got to her foster family she stayed in her crate or hid behind the couch. Slowly she warmed up and began to show her playful personality. She was timid and shy at first, but she has blossomed into a playful, goofy, and sweet girl and has all the love to give to a patient family who is looking for a forever friend.. She does well with other dogs and children, but she does like to zoom and chase them around, so cats are probably not a good idea for her.
Cricket is crate trained and does well in her crate. She rests and sleeps in her crate as well as using it when she needs to relax. She is about 95% housetrained--having an occasional accident due to the transition from shelter dog to inside pet. She is working on her leash manners, therefore she will need more training in this area.
Cricket is seeking a home with a secure, fenced in yard where she can run and be free. Home must have another dog to help her gain confidence and continue to teach her how to be an inside dog.
Cricket is also spayed and up to date on all required vaccinations.
Cricket will be available for adoption on or after 3/10/2024 with Paws Across Pittsburgh KL# 16182
