History: Dee is a super beautiful little lady who needed a second chance to a good life. She is working hard on her trust and confidence and is hoping to find a patient family of her very own soon!
A Note from the Foster: Dee came to us as a very shy girl. She has come out of her shell, but still needs help the rest of the way.
She likes going on short and longer walks in the warmer weather, this is the way she will go to the bathroom. She is very quiet and has only barked when being put in a kennel. She is not kennel/crate trained, she does fine outside of these and has never had a problem. She likes treats but is not motivated with them. With treats she will take them right from your hand very gently. She likes pets and is ok with being lifted up to sit on laps. She is timid and will need to stay on her anti anxiety medication. She does very well taking her pill. With her anxiety, she doesn't like loud noises.
She would be good for apartments and quieter homes. She does well with older kids. She is still opening up to us and still needs help socializing.
Adoption Fee: $500 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
