Description

-This girl is a sensitive soul who will need a little time and patience to come out of her shell. She was nervous and unsure on leash, pulling and darting around as she tried to navigate everything. She was also hesitant to approach me in the yard, but a few tasty snacks helped her find the courage to come closer.-Once she started feeling more comfortable, her affectionate side really began to shine. In the photo room, she surprised me by army-crawling right over when I sat on the floor, then rolling over for belly rubs. She wanted to be as close as possible, pressing herself against me whenever I stopped petting her and even climbing right into my lap for more attention. She eventually became comfortable enough to offer a few kisses, too.-She knows how to sit and takes treats very nicely. Toys aren’t really her thing at the moment, and some noises can make her a little nervous. She’s also a bit head-shy, so she’ll appreciate gentle handling and someone who lets her set the pace.-She may be unsure of the world right now, but underneath that nervous exterior is a very loving girl who desperately wants to feel safe and close to her person. Give her some time, patience, and reassurance, and I think you’ll see that sweet, snuggly side come out more and more.
