Hi I’m Etta! I came to the shelter as a stray so not a whole lot is known about me. I’m a friendly girl who loves to play fetch. I absolutely love attention and will sit in your lap like a small dog if you let me. I should do great with supervised children ages 7 and up. I know how to “shake” and “sit” and may know a few other commands as well. I do piddle sometimes when I get nervous or excited. It has been noticed that I do seem to have a strong prey drive with anything that moves outside. I am very attentive and will point or go after birds flying over me. I also do have a habit of trying to go after cars. I have broken out of a collar before to go after a few cars. Due to this; my new home does need a fence and an experienced owner that can help desensitize me to them. I do not like car rides because I try to get the cars and I would not do well living on a busy street. Please make sure I am supervised at all times when I am outside. Will you take me to my forever home?
