Fray recently went on a Dog Day Out and here's what her DDO buddy had to say!
"Oh sweet, sweet Fray. There are not enough words to describe how sweet she is. She's overcome lots in her life, and while she's still scared, she's bravely moving forward and exploring new things. She spent most of the day snoozing, and, as you can see, she started in a tiny curled up ball, but as she relaxed more she spread out more She even decided to ask for cuddles and very quickly got just what she wanted!
She LOVES couches, comfy blankets, pillows, and head scratches and attention. Loud noises spook her, but she's getting more and more brave every minute!
Fray is also great in the car, didn't make a peep! She doesn't pull on the leash at all, in fact, she's always a step behind you no matter how slowly you walk. If you're looking for a snuggle buddy who will look at you like you hung the moon, look no further than this absolute sweetheart!"
Fray came in with two other dogs. Her previous owners stated she was not good with other dogs. As always, we strongly recommend bringing any resident dogs to the shelter for a meet and greet with potential new family members to be sure it's a good match. If bringing a dog for a meet and greet, please bring proof of up to date rabies, bordetella, and DHPP vaccines.
To meet your future pet, come to Guilford County Animal Services between 12 and 4 any day except Tuesday!
