About Cupcake
Meet Cupcake, our soft, gentle large mixed breed girl. Cupcake has been managing well at GAWS in the shelter environment, meeting new dogs and people. Cupcake is lovely to handle, enjoys dog company, needs some work on lead skills and is generally a personable happy girl. Cupcake was found as a stray so again a lack of information is a barrier, but as always, good training practices, fair firm rules and handler guidance is required for this girl. Cupcake can be a little erratic on lead needing confidence and awareness, as she can spook at odd objects. She has not been cat tested, may assimilate well with children, she could suit a male dog friend, and she is around 32 kg, and may still fill out.
