My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet our girl Orchid!

Orchid currently lives in boarding and is ready to find her furever home, or a foster home that will welcome her and show her life in a loving home! Orchid's life started out ruff, and when she was found as a stray with her puppy, she understandably had a lot of fear. Orchid is in the Good Canine Citizen group. Through her work in this group, she has gained her confidence back and has become a very happy, sweet girl, who is a calming influence on other dogs.

Orchid may start off a bit shy, but once she warms up you will have lots of kisses and a loyal best friend for life. Orchid is excited to find a comfy bed and a special toy she can call her own. She isn't hugely food motivated, but she would like her new family to know that she does like hot dogs, string cheese, chicken and especially Gogurt!! She loves to walk, is great on a leash and knows basic commands.

She just needs someone to step up and show her what life in a home is all about. She is smart and ready to please so have no doubt she would adapt quickly. She is mild mannered but just needs a little time to adjust. We recommend a home with no small children, as they do alarm her a bit.

Don't miss out on this Certified Beauty!

This precious mom and her sole pup were found as strays and brought to the shelter. Mom was emaciated and so frightened what her future held for her and her baby. They clearly had not known love and attention. The baby was so attached to mom and probably the only pup to have survived.
