Here's what the humans have to say about me:
**Special dog requires a special adopter!** Paris is a very sweet and frightened 8 year old,
60 lbs., white, AKC registered female lab. Paris acts as though she has been abused at some point, if not much of her life. She apparently spent most of her life with a breeder but was never able to get pregnant. She was then adopted by a man five months ago whose job change requires him to be out of town much of the time so that he does not have the time to devote to Paris. She requires a quiet household with someone who preferably can be home with her often during the day. It's going to take awhile for this sweet girl to come out of her shell and trust people. Paris has excellent house manners - unfortunately I think that's driven by fear of abuse. I believe she is fearful of having an accident in the house and will hold "it" until she can go outside. She tolerates my other dogs but growls if they get too close to her. Right now all she wants to do is sleep on her bed. I believe she has been crated previously as she likes her bed in a corner and she remains there all day. It will take the right person or persons to help her slowly become comfortable with her home and confident enough to be a part of a family. But once she gains your trust, she is going to be a magnificent, lovely pet! She has so much love to give and she deserves it in return.
If you are interested in this dog, please fill out an application at www.DLRRphoenix.org. Someone will call to schedule a home visit so you can become an approved adopter. Also, visit our wonderful Facebook page at www.facebook/desertlab. Thanks!
