Meet Cricket!!
She is a 2 year old terrier mix and is very intelligent and eager to please. Cricket knows many basic commands already including up, down, sit, come, wait (which she uses at an open door or stairwell)...and ...get ready...she can dance!!! She is extremely smart and would learn many more tricks with a little training.
Cricket loves being outside and frolicking in the grass in search of a mouse, tennis ball or favorite toy.  She will bark when someone comes in the house but a simple command of "Enough" ends her song. Cricket  is a highly trainable dog, who's foster mom thinks she could one day be an amazing agility dog! She is crate and house trained and loves to go for walks.  She gets along well with other playful dogs and likes kids.   Cricket will benefit most from a home with a strong leader who will continue training with her, and one that is active and will take her on the walks that she loves!
This dog will make a loving addition to an active family. Did we mention she's a snuggler??
