Esther is a very sweet, gentle and easy going girl.  She enjoys being petted; belly rubs, or just sitting and laying by your side; maybe even your lap if you allowed her to.  Esther can also be independent at times, wanting to just chill in her space (doggie bed, favorite chair if allowed or just lounging in the sun when outside).  Due to her gentle nature she would be great with children; and her breed tends to be protective of their family.  She can be the dominant one with other dogs, but has gotten along with several kennel mates; therefore would be best in a home as the only dog or with a submissive dog.  Esther is crate trained, and we believe was once house broken and would quickly remember her house manners or just need a little refresher course in house training.    Scroll down to view her video and more pictures to see how easy going and gentle she is. If you are looking for a sweet, quiet and gentle companion, Esther is your girl.  Contact us at arfla.adoptions@gmail.com or call 337-332-4756 for more info on adopting Esther.   You may complete an online adoption application for Esther here: http://arfla.rescuegroups.org/info/display?PageID=16576
