Story
I'm in a FOSTER HOME! If you want to meet me, you can start the process by emailing my foster parent at clairenorsetter@gmail.com to set up a time to virtually meet me!Hello! My name is Shiva, and I'm happy to be here and tell you a bit about me. I was brought in to the Humane Rescue Alliance in Washington, DC, by nice animal control officers after I was found wandering the streets. I was underweight, and had a skin condition, but the vets at HRA nursed me back to health. I'm now a healthy 40 pounds, very energetic, and getting used to trusting humans again.I have been in foster since September 9th and have grown incredibly in my time out of the shelter. I am still quite shy at first, but after getting to know people, I really open up show my very loving, playful and goofy personality. While I am a senior lady, I have a lot of energy and LOVE the outdoors. I light up on walks, especially in the park, and love running around and being playful with my foster mom. If you have a nice yard that I can run and play in, I would love that! I also love nice long walks where you can be patient with me as I sniff (a lot).Because of my past, I am scared by sudden, loud noises, so I would really prefer a quiet home without young children. I may be ok with other dogs, but my foster mom thinks I might prefer to be queen of my own castle. My energy and playfulness have not been well-received by my foster mom's resident cats, so a home without cats would be ideal. While being treated for an upper respiratory infection, I was stubborn with taking medication, so my furrever family would have to be willing to work with me and be creative if I needed additional medication down the road.I am a true love, who is looking for a soft place to land after a rough go of it. Once you earn my trust, I will be very loving and loyal. I'd love to be with a furrever family that loves me for all I am and treats me like a princess. Thank you for reading, and if you're interested in a meet and greet, please contact my foster mom at clairenorsetter@gmail.com.
