Oh...my...goodness! This girl! This girl right here will steal your heart with those big beautiful eyes and her sweet, silly personality. She does take a little while to warm up to you but once she does, that's the end of the story, you're hers from then on. There's nothing like watching her run towards you with her little wiggly butt wagging the whole way. She does need a little help with getting her confidence built up. She doesn't like to have a leash put on her (I think it's because she doesn't like things going over her head) but is slowly getting better about that. We're working with her but it's baby steps right now. She is a quick learner, just scared. She needs a nice family to take her home and help her relax and see everything's gonna be alright. Probably best not to have younger kids in the home right now until she learns that her world is actually a safe place. She really is the bestest girl though and totally worth putting your effort into. Come meet her any time the shelter is open. Their hours are Tue-Sat, 12-6.
