Bio
Who knew being a companion dog could be so sweet? Not me, since I spent most of my life having puppies and raising them, one litter after another. It took me a while to adjust to this new life in a house with people, stairs and doorways. But I am adjusting, slowly but surely. Foster mom says I’m sweet and shy but I’m becoming happier and showing my playful side. I am still nervous about many things in this big new-to-me world, but I am gaining confidence, thanks to the patience of my foster parents and the companionship of my canine foster siblings. I love running and playing with the other dogs, and also love being petted by my foster mom. I am taking medication to help me deal with my anxiety and will need to stay on it as I transition to my new home.
