We pulled Kissy from the shelter when she was still a pup. She was adopted very quickly and was living her best life as the center of her dad's world. Then her dad got sick and had to go into assisted living and there was no family to care for Kissy. So, she came back to us.
On our soapbox for just a minute, if you have pets, PLEASE have a plan in place for them in case something were to happen to you. None of us are promised tomorrow. Make sure your pets have someone to take of them if you no longer can. A lot of the senior pups we pull have been surrendered either by owners going into assisted living or by their extended families when the owner is no longer able to provide.
Now because Kissy was the center of her dad's world she didn't get socialized properly and everyone besides her dad was "stranger danger" at full volume. It took us a long time to earn her trust. Because of this we consider Kissy "socially awkward" and unable to integrate into another home.
Kissy loves to play catch and running around her backyard. And the world stops for a good chewy.
