And now a few words from me
Nice to meet you, my name is Piwie, pronounced Pee Wee! My foster mom calls me Corgi because I guess I remind her of a Corgi! She also tells me that I’m a high-energy gal; yes, I can jump two feet off the ground while she shows me my harness when we get ready for a walk, but I LOVE walking and need lots of exercise. She also mentioned something about an “on-and-off button”; I think she meant that I can be calm but when it comes to walks, that is my favorite thing in the whole world! A couple of other things you should know about me: I’m really frightened of the vacuum, and I don’t always get along with my foster siblings because they can be a little too much for me. I need an outlet for my energy ! so if you like to hike and walk or even run i would be your partner!
And now a few words from my foster family
Piwie is such a sweet girl. All she wants to do is have someone love her and take her for walks. She needs an active family; she loves her walks and is the best walker I’ve ever seen (loose leash much of the time). She is VERY vocal; she will react to anything and everything with a bark or three! Although her previous family spoke French, she has adjusted to English very well. This girl has an on-and-off switch; she can be VERY active but also does very well in her crate at night and goes into it during the day to sleep. I am waiting to have my teeth cleaned and likely will have that done once in my new home .... Currently being fostered in Erin ON
