Female, 6 years old

Charity came to us from a commercial breeding facility and is very, very scared of everything.  She has been in a foster home for several months and has made some wonderful strides, but has a long way to go.

MUST HAVES IN A FOREVER HOME:

A stable mentor dog permanently in the home– one that she can follow and watch to know what things are ok and not scary.

A women only home.  Charity is scared of men and the woman needs to be home more often than not.

A fenced in yard – Charity loves to roam around a fenced in yard, she is a different dog outside.  She is getting better on a leash, but being a fearful dog, a fenced yard is helpful.

Please note that we take time to learn as much as we can about each dog in our care and our bios are our current observations; we are unable to make any guarantees on the future health or temperament of your adopted dog. Most dogs in our care come with unknown pre-rescue history and as such breed and age estimates are an educated guess.
