Teeka

Description

Successfully rehomed by Pennington County Humane Society

Teeka is a beautiful red setter.  This girl is very gentle, loves to snuggle and is house trained, but she is very much in need to do the job she has in her DNA and that is to point.  She is on alert when outdoors for anything that moves.  Her previous owner surrendered her because she "was a runner".  Well, she is a setter, what do you expect, it is in her blood.  What she is in need of from an owner is to channel that "running".  Teeka is currently in foster care and doing well but still is on the thin side, her appetite is good so that should get better.  She gets along fine with her 2 foster siblings but have found she does have a bit of a food "guarding" issue.  Given some time of reassurance that she will get enough to eat, this should lessen with time. She walks well on a leash and loves the outdoors.  She does get bored easy and will find something to do on her own, for example rounding up the shoes in the house.  Given the opportunity I do believe if left unattended her boredom will give way to chewing so it is very important her new prospective family understands her and her breed so they are ready and willing to work with her.  She is young and willing to learn and ready to make a new family very happy and if bird hunting is in the picture, even more perfect.      .
