Lively gal Cricket brings a shining beam of sunlight with her every where she goes! Her super soft and unique coat is a gorgeous blonde color with grey undertones and her squishy sharp black nose is to die for. As you can see in her pictures, the most striking thing about Cricket is her huge wide eyed smile! It's rare to see her without a smile on her face and a pep in her step.
Upon meeting new human friend Jay, Cricket was curious and open. As he approached, she stood back observing. Jay appropriately allowed Cricket to come sniff.. she approached him slowly, smelled his hand and immediately began wiggling about! When he knelt down to greet her, she was happy to be pet and popped up to give him some kisses under the chin. See the series of photos below!! It seemed that Cricket, like all dogs, appreciate not being overwhelmed with human affection before having a chance to check them out first! How polite and respectful of Cricket!
Cricket is brand new to the rescue, only arriving about a week ago so she is just beginning to settle in and relax in her new routine. At first, all she wanted to do was be with us.. being tucked away in her new kennel was worrisome. Since her arrival, we have been working with Cricket to create a calm and happy place in her kennel paired with ample time outside to let loose some of her energy. The results have been amazing.. more and more when we peek over at Cricket, we see her resting comfortably in her plush blankies.
It does seem that having the company of humans is of utmost importance to Cricket! No matter what you're doing, she'll be happy to tag along. I imagine she would make an amazing little companion for many lifestyle types.. especially a home life with a more active yet relaxed vibe. Cricket loves to race around the yard, chasing other dogs along the fence line. Sometimes, her play style can be a bit much for dogs so we are working to pair her with dogs that will compliment her lively natural way!
