VANESSA UPSON

Description

-She walks pretty well on leash with just a little pulling. We started out in the yard, where she spent a few minutes happily wandering and exploring. She seemed fairly relaxed until a couple of trucks passed by and their loud air brakes startled her. She quickly sought comfort by crawling underneath my legs and trembling, so we headed inside.-She was a little anxious indoors and paced some, but she enjoys affection and loves leaning her whole body into you for pets. She’ll take treats from the floor but isn’t quite comfortable taking them from your hand yet. She also doesn’t seem to know “sit,” but that’s okay!-I caught glimpses of a playful girl trying to peek through her nerves. Before the trucks startled her, she was doing little zoomies and pawing at me, and even inside, there were moments when she seemed ready to break into play but couldn’t quite get past her worries. She isn’t interested in toys just yet, but I suspect that playful side will come out more as she settles in.-This girl will need a little time, patience, and a quieter environment to help her feel safe and let her personality shine.
