Miss Inola (Cherokee for “Black Fox”) is above all a people-pleaser.  She wants to bond strongly with her human family.  She is untested around children, however, her calm demeanor and desire to be accepted seems to indicate she will pass that test with flying colors.  

She is likely about 1-2 years old and extremely smart.  In the short week that she’s been with a foster, she has learned not to potty in the house and she’s getting better about not jumping on her humans in the zeal to tell them how glad she is to see them.  

She’s excellent with other dogs and would love to engage a new canine sibling in a good game of chase because she’s pretty sure if given the chance to race she’d take an Olympian gold.  

Her ideal family will take time to let her cuddle close to them on the couch and include a family member or two (human or canine, it doesn't matter) that really likes to play or run outside.  In return, she promises to follow them anywhere and be the best student she can be, whatever they should want her to learn.

Specs: 17 inches tall, approx 35 lbs, silky smooth coat
