The longer foster dogs are in their foster home, the more we learn about what they need in their forever home. This is what I know for sure: Dani needs another young playful dog in her home.

Dani play bows, runs in circles, and gives all the right play displays to my senior dogs. But they don't have that energy any longer to play. As a result poor Dani can't expel her pent-up energy with a game of chase or a wrestle session. 

Another thing I have learned is although she does not have many of the traits that a former commercial breeding dog displays (afraid to go through doors, afraid of the vacuum, dishwasher, TV, etc.), she does display fear if you raise anything above her head.

Also, she has no idea what a toy is for and unfortunately my senior dogs no longer play with toys to help her learn how fun it can be. If you pick up a toy to throw, she will run a few feet behind you as if to get out of the line of fire.

This is a behavior that with time and trust on her end may change, but may not. So if you are looking for a dog to play fetch, Dani may not be your girl.

Dani loves everyone, but people need to be aware that she is sensitive to fast hand movements and needs to be approached calmly.  

I will update more as she reveals it to us.
