Pembe

I first met Pembe at a bus stop on the way to the farm. Most likely released from an overcrowded shelter.

At first, I just fed her, cause we were already very, very full.

But one night, she saw me and completely lost it — bouncing, spinning, pure excitement. I couldn’t say no, and that was it. Obviously, she came home.

She was already spayed and had clearly lived through a shelter system. So she knows how to survive — and how to read people.

With humans, she’s all love.
Very affectionate, very social, always looking for interaction.

She’s also easy to handle.
Good on and off-leash, adaptable, and generally straightforward.

With dogs, it’s a bit different.

She gets along with everyone, but she doesn’t always respect boundaries.
She can get overly excited, push too far, and sometimes trigger reactions — especially around food or when trying to assert dominance.

It’s not aggression.
It’s poor impulse control in social situations.

She loves being part of a group, but needs guidance to stay out of trouble.

What she needs is:

• basic structure around other dogs

• someone who can interrupt behavior early

• consistency, not overcorrection

She’s not a complicated dog.
Just one that needs a bit of direction at the right moments.

✿ She is neutered and fully vaccinated.
