Have you had your Latte today? Latte is a 16-month-old white & black female born May 15, 2012. She was not individually registered with the NGA, but her sire is Super Lee and her dam is CTW Marguerite. Latte was at a schooling farm, but has not raced. She joined GALT when her owner could not pay the boarding fees at the farm. Latte, Mocha and Espressa are littermates. Latte should not live with cats.

 

Latte is a Velcro dog, she is going to be in whatever room you are in, no matter which one it is! She will give lots of kisses and loves belly rubs. She'll wake you up in the morning just for attention! She is great with kids and loves them all. She can leap several kids' toys in a single bound, she's like a deer, it's beautiful, but this also means she needs at least a 6 foot tall wooden fence for a yard.

Latte is a roacher (she likes to roll over on her back), she can roach anywhere in the house, and sleep wherever you are. Latte plays with toys, but she usually wants someone to play with her. She is your typical napping greyhound for most of the day, but will show off her speed in the yard at least once during the day doing zoomies. She also loves to ride in the car and rides extremely well. For an added bonus, she takes baths really well too!

She would love to be in a home with kids to kiss and play with, people to curl up with, people to snuggle with, a yard to run in and a mom or dad who is home a lot. She would do better in a home where she is only in her crate for no more than 4-6 hours a day (she also likes the radio on!). Latte has some food allergies and is on a special diet for them.

The ThunderShirt folks are continually working on finding ways to calm our Furbabiesanxieties. They now have a ThunderToy that is stuffable with ThunderTreats. (Think Kong and peanut butter only with a calming twist.) The Toy is adorable and the treats have the calming ingredients of chamomile and lavender. The ThunderToy is available in Lg. & Sm. and the ThunderTreats come in 4 oz. & 6 oz. sizes.
