Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Sara!
As a young pup, while asleep, a child jumped on Sara and startled/hurt her. She reacted by nipping the child. Sara was then confined to a crate as she was frightened of the child and would growl when the child was near. She was at risk of euthanized and was surrendered to the rescue. In her foster home, she has an older foster brother who she loves to rough house, chase and play with. She does resource guard and that is something her foster family is working on helping her with. She has grown into a lovely young lady who likes to be held and cuddled and her foster family is regularly reinforcing positive touch. She is nervous of strangers and will growl, but warms up if left to make the first move. She was not socialized as a young pup and is learning leash manners, to play cooperatively, how to 'slow' down with everything, and to be gentle. She must not be in a home with children under 12 years. She is accustomed to the kitties in her foster home, and will occasionally chase them, but stops when reminded not to. She will require a quiet home, without a lot of visitors and a patient family, that will take the time to train her and understand her fear of strangers.
Sara will come up to date on her vaccinations, micro chipped and is spayed.
