Words from Shira

I am so happy each morning when my crate is opened to start my day. After doing my downward dog stretch, I am ready to go downstairs to greet my foster sisters, stretch my legs and go outside to do my business. I am always so happy to come in because I know you have a treat waiting for me. I enjoy chewing on toys, or an antler.  I’m always happy when it’s mealtime but I don’t eat as fast as I used to because I don’t have food insecurity anymore. I love to eat and drink lots of water. After eating and playing, its time for a nap. I will snuggle either on a comfy dog bed or the areas you allow me to nap. I will let you know when I want to go outside by going to the door to the backyard. I am always happy when you take me for a late afternoon walk, I am still a little nervous on walks; all of the new sounds make me a little jumpy. I am becoming more secure and gaining confidence. I show you how happy I am by wagging my tail and giving kisses. I love to be pet and I am learning how to cuddle, I have discovered that it makes me feel good.

 

Words from my foster family

Shira has a sweet personality. She is timid around new people and prefers to observe from afar until she is comfortable to approach. When comfortable, she is happy to be by your side or off playing with another dog. Shira likes treats and does well with positive reinforcement. Shira is doing very well with her crate, she sleeps in it at night. Shira sleeps through the night and will make noises in the morning when she would like out to do her business. Shira is housebroken. Shira can be timid at first with new dog walkers but once comfortable, she enjoys going for walks. She’s also getting use to car rides. Shira gets along well with our two small dogs and has become fast friends with both. Shira would do well in a house with a playmate or would be happy alone with all of her parents’ attention. Shira loves to play with toys; she enjoys playing, chewing on toys, playing ball, or wrestling with her foster sisters. Shira is loyal and will be grateful to have people love her.

Shira has a sweet and gentle disposition with kind eyes, she looks at her humans with such love. Shira is always so grateful for everything that you do for her and will make someone very happy.
