Sira's start in life is unknown but her journey here was rough. Caught by animal control as a stray and young, she stayed pancaked at the back of her kennel and was not receptive to touch. Shelter life was literally killing her. She was failing and doomed to death. The rescue coordinator reached out and asked us a favor, knowing she is our type of dog. At the time we had space and said yes. Sira was a unique case because she did not grow with time. She stayed stagnant so we pushed her. After several weeks of decompression, environmental exposure to the facility and dogs she continued to recoil at human touch or interaction. Very likely feral it meant we needed to push or let her stay forever stagnant. Despite the recoil you could see her soften and start to enjoy, if not invite, her regular massage sessions. Eventually she opened up and learned to be a dog. She is one of the more affectionate dogs at the faciility. She is easy going, a true home body and good to just chill where she knows it's safe. She seeks interaction from those she knows and trusts. She is happy and content as long as her out of the normal activity and exposure is limited. She's looking for a very patient, quiet home with adults who will assist her in gaining confidence. She loves to be pet and has a silly playful side when she feels comfortable with her people and her surroundings. Her ideal home would be one with minimal expecations she do "dog worldly" things. She'd love to stay home, have just her yard, chill in the comfort of what she knows with the people she loves. Is that you?
Because of my Flight Risk I cannot be left unattended in a yard, crate training is a must when you are gone, tight grip on the leash is a must on adventures and my new family must be aware of open doors and windows. NO offleash activities in unfenced areas for life.
