Audrey is a shepherd mix who came to me starved and on the verge
of death while trying to nurse 8 pups! Now, she is a friendly
dog, albeit somewhat nervous meeting new people, who loves belly
rubs and ear scratches! She has filled out nicely – and even
when starving literally to death – is one of the most gentle
dogs taking food that you’d ever want to meet. She is not at all
food aggressive, either, which is miraculous given her condition
when she arrived. Audrey
(so named because of her long neck like Audrey Hepburn) is now a
playful, happy dog who loves playing with her canine companions.
She’s great with kids after she gets to know them. She’ll just
retreat if she’s nervous. She likes having a place to hide her
head (because we can’t see her then, you know!) if she thinks
anyone is angry or if she’s afraid, but she generally is just
happy to have a home, food, and companionship that loves her.
Audrey is a quick learner and
knows how to let herself in and out of the back door so she’ll
easily learn to use a doggie door. She loves playing with toys
and chewing rawhides. Be aware, she has to have stuffed toys
and/or rawhides or she’ll find something else to chew! She’s
still a young dog…maybe a year and a half? She’ll outgrow that
inclination, especially if you keep her exercised and busy. She
is housetrained, but would be best with a dog door.
Audrey is very easily handled
for any grooming or nail clipping. She’ll let you “manhandle”
her in any way you need all while very docilely just laying
there. She’s learning to be on a leash, but this is not yet her
favorite thing. Something about it frightens her, so you have to
be very patient in teaching her about this. Please understand
that while she has come a long way, she still has a ways to go
before losing all her fear of people and new situations.
She is, up to date on shots and
now spayed. She’d love to have you give her a permanent home to
call her own, preferably with another dog to play with. Her two
best friends, Roger and Gracie, are both also up for adoption.
Isn’t it time this poor abused girl got her own people to love?
