Story
After spending a portion of my life living outdoors with much of it on my own, I am now realizingthat having been rescued by humans was not such a bad thing. Even though I do not have asmuch freedom as I did, I do have a roof over my head and food in my stomach. I did not know how to interact with cats and other dogs at first. Having learned that they do notseem to present any eminent danger, I do not mind their presence but have not quite figured outhow to interact with them. Sometimes they, as well as humans, move a little too quickly for mycomfort. For now, I may need a home without small children or a lot of high-energy activity.I truly believe that I have made a lot of progress in learning how to live within my new world butalso realize that there is still room for improvement. In an environment of patience andcontinued love and encouragement, I hope that in time I will become much more comfortableaccepting love and care from humans.I know that I will need some training in simple commands but I am really quite smart and havealready figured out daily routines like how to make it known when I need to go out to potty(house broken). I walk well on a leash and LOVE my daily jaunts. Even though I do not challenge confinement such asfences (no digging or jumping) and crates (actually I rather like the security of a crate at times), Ifind that I do sometimes yearn for the freedom of the great outdoors.If after learning all of this about me (and it's a lot!), you feel that you would be willing to openyour heart and your home to include me in your family I would love to continue my life journeylearning how to be a well-adjusted loving presence in your life.Hope to hear from you soon!Vixen is four years old and weighs 42 pounds.Location: Foster homeThe adoption fee for adult dogs, seven months and older, is $250.
