My story

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

Would you be able to help me please? I am scared to death here with all these other dogs barking and all the activity and noise going on around me. I REALLY could use a foster to help me out. I need a nice quiet place to hang out for a while to build my confidence up. I like people but it takes me a minute to warm up to them. I also seem to get along with other dogs so if you have a nice gentle one that might help to show me how to be a dog. I was picked up on Outer Drive trying to get in a nice person's house to find someone to love me! I need to go home please.
