Why I need a new home

Fostered

My story

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

Shy has been a foster at our doggy daycare, from county animal control, since July 2022. She scared of humans and is very slow to warm up, this is why we have not actively advertised her for adoption. She absolutely loves other dogs and loves to play. We would not suggest cats due to her predatorial instincts to hunt small prey; she could be enticed to chase. Although she has never shown signs of aggression, we don't recommend small children due to her being frightened. She is trained either in or out of a crate. She's spayed and UTD on vaccines. No known medical issues. She would do best in a calmer setting with someone that's willing to take it slow with her. She is a lover but is timid.
