My personality

My story

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

Meet Autumn!

Autumn is 27 pounds of pure personality, waiting to be your new best friend! Autumn is approximately 1 year old and is slowly learning the finer things in life, like a warm dog bed and trusting her human friends!

Autumn is quite fearful around humans still and is learning to trust day by day. In the short time that she’s lived with her foster, she’s gone from completely shut down to becoming her little shadow (from a distance). At this point in Autumn’s decompression journey, she wants to be in the same room as you and will even jump up on the couch or human bed if you’re quiet, but move too quickly and she’ll go back to her dog bed where she can keep a watchful eye on you! Despite her fears, Autumn has never shown an ounce of aggression and she’s mastered the ability to look deep into your soul and you can just tell that with more time and patience, she is ready to fully trust someone!

Autumn is potty trained, loves walks, and adores other pups — loves a good game of chase, a cuddle session, and is even happy to share her toys. She is most at ease when another dog is around and would do best in a home with another dog, or an experienced adopter who realizes she may take a bit more time to open up without a dog friend around!

Given that Autumn is still building his trust with people, she needs a patient adopter willing to invest the time and energy in her development, at her pace. Her improvement in her foster home thus far shows just how ready she is to find her forever! In full disclosure, this is not a girl who comes brewery, art festival, youth sports tournament ready. Autumn should be considered a flight risk at first and let outside with a long lead and double leashed when walked. She may be low maintenance in the house, but she should always be watched near exit points and is not yet a dog that will come when called!

Autumn needs a family with patience, love, and understanding as she navigates life outside of the shelter. She’s still figuring out the world, so brain games and gentle encouragement will help boost her confidence. If you’re up for a challenge, with a huge reward at the end, Autumn may be your girl!
