​

This dog is a mover and a shaker. She is confident, forward, and is ready to go at all times! Sanna wants to get things done and would be an amazing partner for someone who is as athletic and outdoorsy as she is. If she were human, she would be a highly motivated business executive who moonlights as a professional athlete.

​

Sanna warms up quickly and is super friendly to everyone she meets. She loves to be out running and exploring with her dog friends but will stay close, knows her name and has excellent recall. In her foster home she also enjoys helping with farm chores by running loose with the other dogs next to the side by side and packing in at least 15 miles per day! She currently resides with dogs from 15 – 70 pounds and with proper introductions has done well with all. She does have extremely high prey drive and is heavily managed around the barn cats, but a home without cats will be best. She is respectful with the fosters horses, but other livestock is unknown.  

​

She is potty trained, crate trained, rides well crated in the care, and is well-mannered at the vet’s office. She prefers to be with her person or dog friends and has been known to climb a kennel fence so a secure kennel with a top is required if she needs to stay contained for tending to certain chores. Sanna needs a skilled, confident handler to ensure she has the structure and training needed for continued success. She is motivated most by food and praise and requires moderate correction to redirect unwanted behaviors.

​

Her ideal home is with an active person – someone who is an avid runner, mountain biker, or hiker and would be fine with older kids who are dog-savvy. Sanna is all the great things in one pup – a bit intense when needed, good sense of humor, and a good sense of FUN! Her foster says she is an easy dog with no real bad habits and although a bit busy in the house she doesn’t get in the trash, is getting better with staying on a place command, and is a joy to be around. Sanna truly wants one person to bond strongly to and share her world with – is that you?
