Astoria is a 1-year-old female terrier mix who is adjusting from a hoarder situation to a home full of love. 

She will require some patience as she has not had a lot of training and she is initially shy and fearful.  But Once you gain her trust she is the role model of a lap dog, loving to be petted, have her belly rubbed and she likes to give kisses. 

She has a lot of energy – running zoomies outside.  Astoria would prefer a quieter home but if there is another dog she could play with she would be in heaven.  She is a food surfer so you have to put food items safely away.  She is very very smart and I think she would do great in obedience classes and readily learn tricks. 

She is mostly potty trained.  She likes cats and other dogs.  I think she would do best in a home with older kids because loud noises startle her.
