BLOSSOM IS LOCATED IN SHERMANSDALE, PA

Blossom is the sweetest baby Corso there has ever been. She is energetic, playful, and just happy to be out and about. She is very eager to please and her training is coming along nicely. She knows basic commands like “sit” and “shake/paw”.

Likes: She loves her toys, feeding time, and walks around the farm checking out the cows and horses.

Dislikes: She doesn't dislike too much in life, although she does like to try to chase the barn cats and chickens. She is, of course, kept on a leash, and this behavior seems to be all play.

Personality: Sweet, and affectionate!

Temperament: Mild. Blossom has a very sweet temperament. She has no triggers that we are aware of.

Energy level: Medium. Blossom likes to run around the yard in “zoomy” mode, but will also cuddle on the floor with her fosters.

Favorite activities: Her favorite activities are going on walks around the farm and playing with her toys.

Good with cats, dogs, and kids (over 6)?: She has been good with her foster sibling dogs, but does seem to want to chase the barn cats. She loves the kids and will follow them everywhere.

Not good with: Possibly not good with cats, otherwise she hasn’t had any other issues.

Housetrained: Yes, she is housetrained.

Crate trained: Yes, she is crate trained.

Requires a fenced yard (physical fence and/or invisible fence)?  Yes.

Walks well on a leash? Blossom is still learning, but is doing great walking on a leash and learning her commands.

Challenges: Blossom is still a puppy, so a home that is able to spend time with her and continue her training would be best.

Any Medical issues? No known medical issues.

What would be the best kind of home? Blossom would benefit from living with a family with or without other dogs. She is young and her training definitely needs to be continued.  She is a happy, loving girl that deserves the best in life!
