Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Priscilla is a 3 year old girl on the quiet side, somewhat shy, until she warms up to new humans, but even then, is very respectful for your attention. She enjoys soft petting as she herself is a gentle soul. Priscilla would thrive in a calm environment without a lot of noise and activity. She has only been with her foster for a couple of weeks, so that could change in time. For now she is cautious and avoidant when facing new situations. She prefers to observe for herself before engaging.
Priscilla is quite content keeping herself busy, especially with marrow bones, stuffed Kongs, and antlers. She tends to trot around the house until she settles for a nap to recharge her battery. She is both house trained, but does need to go outside every 6 to 8 hours.
The main thing Priscilla would need at first in her adoptive home is time and patience for her to feel confident and comfortable. What we found worked with her was engaging verbally with her but letting her initiate any physical interaction. It took her a week for her nub to wiggle when she saw me. Now, while still very respectful and obedient, she feels more secure and trusts me so enjoys my petting and affection. She definitely is a girl who wants nothing more than to be good. She also does not crate well. She becomes anxious and will have accidents. I have left her loose in the house when I am not home and she has been good.
Priscilla is fostered in a multi-dog house, but only enjoys the company of the quieter dogs who will not demand her participation in racing around or physical play. She is more about peaceful cohabitation. She would also be happy as an only dog.
Because Priscilla is a timid girl who likes peace and quiet, she'd do best in an adult only home. Cats are unknown. She is also a major 'foodie' who is never satisfied and needs the most complex slow-feeder we could find. She definitely had to have been starved previously.
If you feel you can meet Priscilla's needs and keep her happy, please submit our application at www.kodisclub.org
