We adopted Balto from AGaG in April 2012, when he was about a year and a half old. He was nervous around new people and dogs at first, but with training he has grown into a loving, energetic pup! He is equally at home playing in the backyard as he is spending a lazy afternoon on the couch. He loves fuzzy toys that squeak, getting treats out of his Kong, and going on long walks. Balto has been a great addition to our family, and we look forward to many more years of golden love!
ABIGAIL IS LOOKING FOR HER FOREVER HOME!
MUST HAVES IN MY FOREVER HOME:
* Fenced in yard
* Mentor dog that will show me what dog life is like
I am a fearful dog and didn’t have exposure to normal things that dogs experience for the first 5 years of my life. I am afraid of people, startling noises, and anything that moves quickly. I am more comfortable outside than inside, and really would like to play with a dog outside. I get all happy and wiggly and play bow. But, inside is a different story. I find my safe place and that’s where I prefer to be most of the day. Human contact is slowly becoming tolerable to me. But, many times I just freeze and try to be invisible.
I am taking medication to help me with my fears, but it will be a long road for me to learn to trust and build confidence. It is the most rewarding process to see a dog like me make the baby steps to learning how to be a dog. I need a quiet and patient family to call my very own.
I am a beautiful and sweet girl and am ready to blossom in my forever home. Come and meet me.
