DISTINGUISHING FEATURES... 

IKEA is gorgeous! She has one blue eye and one brown, an adorable underbite, and a unique merle patterned coat. She's also a little bit bow-legged. She is toy crazy - LOVES LOVES LOVES to play with a variety of toys. She also loves to have a companion dog or two to play with. She is suspicious and wary of men, but we feel that a man who is willing to take time and be patient with her will win her over. She stresses over changes in her environment. Rearranging the furniture throws her for a loop until she adjusts to the new setup. A routine would help her feel more secure.   

HOME/FAMILY LOOKING FOR... 

IKEA's ideal adopter is a female only household or a patient man willing to take time to show her that not all men kick dogs. She was previously in a foster home where she would cuddle with her foster dad sometimes but was still suspicious of him whenever he was standing or moving about the house. A positive-based training class would do wonders for her confidence, so someone willing to invest in a class for her would be ideal. She is so sweet that she melts your heart when you meet her and WELL WORTH taking the time to win her over! A home with another dog or dogs for her to follow is preferred.
