My personality

My story

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

Name: Fathom
Breed: GSD x Farm Dog Mix
DOB/Sex: Dec 22, 2023/F
Known Health Issues: None at this time.
Good With: Cats! Dogs! Kids!
NO DOG PARKS

Hi, I'm Fathom! I'm looking for my forever family. Is that you?

You:

- Have a quite, calm home environment.

- Enjoy working with shy dogs, and have the patience to build a relationship over many months.

- Love the outdoors and adventuring!

- Enjoy a dog that wants to be with you always, but respect they don't necessarily want physically restrictive embracing/hugs.

- Enjoy building up a dog, and bringing out their inner spark.

- live more rurally/in a quiet neighborhood. And have a secure, fenced area for me to exercise in. 6ft minimum.

- Will not trap me by claiming my genetics are "an abused past", and give me the tools I need to grow everyday.

- Have a well balanced dog in the home, that would pair well with a soft, shy, but sassy girl.

Me:

- I am shy, sweet, and like to take things slow.

- Once I am comfortable though, I have a spicy side! I can be demanding and vocal for my needs, in a sassy way!

- I am a flight risk, and a hard catch. I will NEVER go to a stranger. But I like routine, and minimal pressure, and will go back to my safe place if properly guided.

- I love my crate, and the security it provides. I like routine and predictability.

- I love to play, and run! I would prefer to go to a home with a canine friend. I take a lot of confidence and direction from their actions. I get along with most everyone, as long as they respect canine body language.

- I still get car sick, so Cerenia is my friend.

- I have not yet met a cat, but with proper training and guidance, should be fine. 2 of my adopted siblings live with cats!

- Kids that respect boundaries, and personal space may be okay. Again, I am very shy, and don't like much physical contact. This is hard for many kids to understand. I seek coexistence.

- My foster mom says I am a very special girl, with a warm light. I shine the brightest when my needs are respected. She hopes I will find someone willing to continue to give me a safe space in which to grow.
