Story
Torrey is a very private and non social dog. We are in a very busy house and she gets very scared by loud sounds, so she just hides under the bed all day every day. She comes out only to go to the bathroom. She's never bitten anyone or is mean, she just seems to hate living out here in our new house in the country. We are gone most nights or on weekends and she doesn't have anyone to give her the attention she deserves. She has a little bit of arthritis and likes to go for walks, but we don't have the time. Our other dogs are outdoor dogs and get their exercise that way. She is just really struggling at her advance age and just needs someone that can give her attention.
