Hi, Loves. I’m Ila.

Come lay by the window and watch the birds with me, won’t you?

I came to Zoe’s about a month ago; I was living outside with my seven little puppies when they found me. The lovely Zoe’s folks gave us a safe and warm place to live until my puppies were ready to go on to their own foster homes. Being a mom was wonderful, I loved my pups so much. All the people who came to see me and my litter said I was such a great mom.

I’ve raised and sent off my puppies and am in my own foster home now.

My foster people are absolute dreams. They are so kind to me and are teaching me all about home living. I’ve just started learning about stairs. Interesting things, those stairs. I’m not sure what I think about them yet. Naps on the other hand…..Mmmmmm. Those, I like.

I like lots of things: Affection, treats, being brushed, sitting real close, playing in the snow, and laying here by the window watching the birds.

I have yet to meet a person I didn’t like (though I haven’t met any small people, so I don’t know how I feel about them. I imagine I’d like them as long as they are nice to me.) My foster home has another dog, he’s pretty great. I met a cat the other day, I liked her a lot too!

I am easy-going, sweet and gentle. My foster parents say I move at ‘Ila speed.’ I’m never in a rush, but always wagging my big bushy tail wherever I go.

I love my foster home, but I would love a forever home and a family to call my own even more.

What do you get when you cross and dog with a calculator?

A friend you can count on!!!

Hahahahahaha! Oh, man! That was funny.

It’s my favourite joke. Because it’s funny AND because it’s about ME! I’m a friend you can count on, no calculator needed.

Do you need a friend to jog with? That’s me!

Do you need a friend to play with? That’s me!

Do you need a friend to cuddle with? That’s me!

I’m pretty easy-going: I know my basic commands, I’m crate trained and house trained. I’m a high energy dude, so I need lots of exercise and mental stimulation. I’ve been known to chew on things I shouldn’t when I don’t have enough to do. My foster parents are excellent at keeping me busy though, so my chewing tendencies have stayed in check. My foster dad is teaching me fetch and how to play with a frisbee. Fun times!!

I really love playing with other dogs, so if you have a dog who needs a friend, I’m your guy! Who am I kidding? I’m everyone’s guy! Except cats. They’re too much like toys and I like to play too much. I love humans oh, so much, but I’m nervous around small children. They frighten me. I think it’s something I might be able to get over in time with patient parents and very gentle kids who like to play fetch with me. A solid game of fetch is a heart winner for sure!

As much play energy as I have, I’m also down for some love and cuddles. Love from my humans is second only to play time. And it’s a close second.

Maybe I could be your new friend?

Famous for such hits as “How do I Bark?” and “She’s in Love with the Bone,” this darling puppy was named appropriately after the incomparable country superstar, Trisha Yearwood.

This Trisha loves to sing as much as her more famous counterpart. When we say ‘sing,’ we mean she has a really cute bark and her playtime growls are adorable! True to puppy form, she loves to play, bouncing, pouncing, sideways ninja flying and wrastling like a champ! Recently Trisha discovered the wonders of ice cubes. They zing across the floor and are so fun to chase and chew!! Speaking of chewing, she is in that phase where she is a little bitey. Nothing some training and redirecting can’t fix.

A strong commitment to training and further socialization are important for Trisha’s development and growth into a well-balanced dog, both of which will be included in Trisha’s adoption contract. Not to fret, however, puppy classes are a fun and fantastic way to build a solid bond! Currently, her foster parents have been focusing on potty training. But not regular potty training… Trisha has learned to ring a bell at the door to say she wants to be let outside. Neat, eh?

Trisha is very eager to learn, especially when treats are involved. If she can ring a bell to pee, imagine what other cool tricks Trisha could learn…
