My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
I’ve had the opportunity to receive training beyond the APA! walls and am currently living in the Houston area. I like to think of it as “studying abroad!” I’ve received some one-on-one attention from my trainer friend at Gray Wolf Canine Rehabilitation who has helped me further work through some challenges. (https://www.austinpetsalive.org/blog/thinking-outside-the-shelter-walls-to-support-dogs-in-need).
Now with some extra coursework, I’m ready to graduate out of the sheltering system and into an adoptive home! And as soon as I find a home, my spot at Gray Wolf gives another dog just like me a chance to broaden their horizons!
What I've worked on at GWCR: I grew up in a loving home with a family surrounding me! Through no fault of my own, I landed in the shelter system, and became stuck. Over the last 3 years in the shelter, I developed separation anxiety when left alone and struggled to connect with the dog friends I used to play with. During my time at GWCR, I've become accustomed to spending time in the crate and developed a routine to manage my anxiety, practiced introductions to new dogs, and figured out my favorite enrichments and activities to keep me nurtured.
All I need now is a caring home to take me in and keep me out of the shelter system forever! I would prefer a lower traffic home, but can be flexible with more management. I would enjoy living with the right dog friend, provided we get to meet first!
