ABOUT SCRAMBLE
Scramble was abandoned on our property, found running around scared and confused. While we do not know why someone would abandon her, we are happy they at least chose somewhere safe. Thankfully, Scramble walked into one of our fenced fields, so our staff could calmly and slowly encourage her to approach us. Scramble was severely underweight and starving for food, so she warmed up very quickly to our staff with snacks. For a couple weeks, she was on a meal plan to help her regain her weight in a healthy way. While she now loves our staff and volunteers, she is still a little fearful of new people at first, but he loves is easily won! When greeting new people, she will happily welcome pets if there are treats involved. She also LOVES to be outside and has done excellent making friends in a more open area. Scramble can be pretty vocal meeting dogs, but she does playbow and try to engage in playtime with doggy friends. In true shepherd nature, she loves to use her voice, so another dog that isn't fearful of that would be best.
To help socialize her more with the world, one of our more experienced volunteers took Scramble for a day out of the shelter. Here's what she had to say about their time together:
"I took Scramble out today for a much needed break. Although very sweet with me, she is very hesitant of strangers. Typical shepherd! Once she gets to know you, she is the sweetest. We did a nice long walk along the riverfront. We stopped in riverfront pets for a toy and collagen bone. I took her to my home, where she explored my dogs area and toys. After some bonding time, she started to realize how to play with the toys. She is such a love and deserves a loving, playful home. It doesn't seem like she had one before. With a lot of love and some patience this girl will be your whole world! I hope someone gives her the chance she deserves." - Nicole
