Sweet, Smart, Affectionate and Pretty Darn Cute Describes Cricket

Cricket is an amazing dog. She was found, out near Bastrop, in a pen with several other dogs. The dogs were never taken out of their pen and only had human contact, once a week when their person would take a bag of food and throw it to them. Because of this hard beginning, Cricket came to us with calluses on her hind quarters, obviously having had numerous litters, over weight, scarred and with a case of heart worms. We thought we were going to have a hard case on our hands. I am happy to say that Cricket is one of the sweetest dogs I have ever fostered. She is house trained, knows a few commands, is super smart and a HUGE lover. Nothing makes her happier than to have her head on your lap or be sleeping at your feet when you are watching TV or working on the computer. Well, maybe one thing, she LOVES to go for walks or short jogs. She is not running high mileage but 3 to 4 miles at a 9:30 plus pace is great. She also loves the dog park. So, if you are looking for a calm dog but who loves to be active, Cricket is the girl for you. She gets along great with her two doggie housemates and her kitty housemate. She is spayed, over her heart worms, and current on all shots. Having been outside, on the hard earth, most of the first two years of her life, I am hoping to find Cricket a forever home where she will not spend her days outdoors but will have access, at all times, to a nice, soft pillow inside.
