Story

Dog Name: Holly Anne. Breed: beagle mix. Sex: female. Age: 6 months. Weight: 31lbs.  Medical Needs: none.  Housebroken: yes, she’s good with a schedule. Outside her little sniffer doesn’t stop, so patience is key. She will eventually get down to business. She has had an occasional accident in her kennel while we are at work.  Crate trained: yes, she will go in for a treat. If you’re gone for the day (not visible to her) she will bark until she settles down. So keep that in mind if you have close neighbors; apartment, condo, townhouse. It’s not a fun bark. Good in the car: yes, lays right down. She does occasionally get car sick.  Good on a leash: work in progress.. when she first arrived she’d freeze or try to run back to the house. There is still random new noises she’s never heard that spook her while outside but she is conquering her fears and she is getting better with each day.  Energy level: medium. She has puppy energy. So zoomies happen a few times a day. But she can also curl up on you and nap as well. Need a fenced in yard: she’d benefit from it. It would make her feel more comfortable in her own little bubble. Dog Friendly: Yes. If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive home? Not needed. Cat Friendly: None in current foster home but was told she lived with older cats previously. Kid Friendly: Yes. If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? Any with proper supervision but also old enough to give her space until she’s comfortable. She scares easily and is very timid until she gets comfortable.  Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know? Holly Anne is not only adorable but she is a very special little girl. She is very sweet but can be oh so timid. She takes some time to warm up and feel comfortable. Once you earn her trust she’s all in - you can take on the world together! She will follow you around and be your little shadow. If you’re someone who hasn’t quite earned her trust but she wants so bad to meet you she will be all tail wags and try to sneak getting closer to you. It is adorable but if you look or go towards her before she is ready she will run away. She came here scared of the world and startled easily but we are working on giving her the confidence that she needs. We are trying to encourage bravery as she is a bit of courage the cowardly dog. Now that she has started to come out of her shell she is showing her true self. She’s a fun loving pup and a bit of a hoarder - stuffed toys, slippers, socks, shoes, anything she can get her little paws on will make their way in her kennel. She also has no shame and will try to steal a sock right off your foot. This shy girl came from WV with a sad start to her life. She came to Delaware in hopes she’d find her loving fur-ever home. Every day is a work in progress for her and everyday she gets more and more brave. If you have the love and patience to help her continue to come out of her shell, she is well worth it. She will also be forever grateful and reward you with the sweetest kisses.   Fosters Location: New castle, DE.  Application can be found here: https://www.grrde.org/adoption-application (if you already have an approved application on file email GrassRootsDE@gmail.com and ask the app team to pull your app. ##2002140##

Story

He is a loveable and friendly dog. Loves attention and would do well with a family who has children who can run around and play with him. He is 7 months old. Birthday is September 26, 2023. The reason we need to rehome is because we all have extremely hectic schedules and cannot give him the needed attention. He comes with crate, toys, food, shampoo and extras. All of his shots are up to date as well as dewormers. He even has extra shots.
