Description:

Hi! My name is Plus. I’m a super sweet, sometimes sassy, big girl looking for a family of my very own. Make no mistake: I’m not fat, I’m just big boned. I’m super smart and learn commands easily. I already know sit, down, and stay, and am eager to learn anything else you want to teach me if training is accompanied by treats! I’m a great leash walker as long as I don’t see anything exciting like a squirrel or another dog, and I love going for walks. I’m also a great guard dog and will bark at unfamiliar things that I hear and see, which my fellow greyhounds don’t usually do. Sometimes I will even bark at my people if they aren’t giving me what I want. Don’t hold that against me; I just know what I want and am willing to go after it!

Speaking of going after it, I should tell you that I sometimes have “episodes” where I wake up and forget where I am. In those instances, I panic and am quick to let anybody around know that I’m not to be messed with. I do that by snarling and barking my fiercest bark, and by snapping. Don’t be offended by it; I’m not being aggressive toward anybody in particular. Because it’s scary, and I have made contact with a person in the past with my snapping, I am looking for a home with no other pets and no young children. I love to snuggle, but since even I admit that I can be unpredictable, I’m fine with you not letting me on the furniture.

Would you like to bring a sassy, sweet girl into your home? I’m your gal! Please help me find my forever family so we can start our happily ever after!
