Allow us to introduce Biscuit. (When she is being extra cute her name changes to Butter Biscuit!!)
Biscuit and her sister came to the rescue as 10 month old puppies. They were surrendered to an animal shelter in North Carolina. Biscuit can be described with two words. Gorgeous puppy!! Biscuit is a gorgeous jet black puppy with ears that do their own thing. Sometimes they stick out to the sides and sometimes they are normal.
Biscuit’s personality is as beautiful as her looks. Let’s start our description with all the things Biscuit already knows how to do. I will list them for you: – Number one – SIT.
Now, let’s talk about what she needs: – Everything else. Biscuit knows the command for sit but true to dane form, if she doesn’t want to, she will make you work at giving the command multiple times before she eventually gives in. (Unless it’s feeding time or you have a treat). When it is time to eat she will sit and wait for you to put her food down while watching you with those piercing eyes.
Biscuit came to the rescue very thin. You can see from some of the pictures that she had zero muscle and no fat on her body at all. She was 10 months old and 72 pounds. She had a UTI and understandably she was hungry all the time. But she still sat and waited for you to set her food down for her. Now, when you have your back turned to her getting her food ready she is bouncing all over the place, including putting her feet on your back to look around you to see if it is ready yet. She is just excited and hungry after coming from a place where she obviously did not get enough food, or routine meals.
Biscuit walks on a leash but she is not a natural. She doesn’t pull super hard, more along the lines of not knowing what exactly to do. When she came to her foster home she was given a small chew toy with a squeaker inside. She took the toy, crawled on the couch beside foster mama and laid down. When she squeaked it for the first time she jumped up and was terrified of it. She acted as though she had never seen a vacuum cleaner, nor rain and preferred at first to go pee on the hard deck instead of the grassy yard.
She quickly learned where to go potty, but she would immediately want to go back inside. Outside intimidated her. Oftentimes the rescue doesn’t get first hand knowledge of the lives our foster dogs lived before coming to the rescue. But it is clear Biscuit and her sister were not exposed to much at all.
Let me tell you exactly what Biscuit wants: she wants to be with people. She wants to be in their lap and to snuggle up with them on the couch and to pet and to be loved non-stop, 24/7. Period. She wants other dogs to be around, but if given the chance to be with other dogs or people, its people every time. She doesn’t care what you are doing, she just wants to be with you. She is desperate for love, attention, and companionship. We describe her as frantically affectionate. She will quickly crawl on top of you and lay down for snuggles. It is easy to see Biscuit was likely confined in a place with a hard floor and not exposed to much of anything. She was scared of a dog toy! So she will need to be worked with on exposure to everything and basic manners. But more than anything she wants someone to love her and she will do anything to make that happen. Once she finds someone to love her, she is literally oozing with love to give in return. Are you that someone?
