Ciri needs some serious love that she apparently has not gotten before. She is scared of the shelter life and needs a safe, secure and loving home with an individual or family that can give her some extra tender loving care. I found out in the time I was with her that even though she is terrified with all the loud barking in the shelter, once I got her out into a play yard off leash, she became what we call a Velcro dog...she wanted to be by my side and as close as possible for reassurance....and not only to feel safe, she wanted to shower me with kisses and offer me her paw. Ciri is a precious girl that is literally bursting to come out of her shy shell. Over time as she began to relax more and started venturing out away from me to sniff and explore a bit, she even showed that she was interested in playing ball and almost broke out into a zoomie as all puppies should do without hesitation. Sweet Ciri has SO MUCH potential once she gets into the right home. Won't you be her hero and foster or adopt her today to give her the best environment where she can blossom into the sweet playful girl that she gave me a glimpse of today!
