My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Shakes was part of a 69-dog hoarding situation a few hours outside of Austin. Naturally, she arrived very undersocialized and scared, but she has made so much progress in the few months she has been at RFR!

Initially, she was shut down, hiding in a bedroom, running away from any dog or person she saw. Now she loves lounging and running around the entire house, playing with her toys and dog friends, and sunbathing in the yard between frolics. She can be unsure of new dogs within the first few minutes of meeting them, but quickly warms up to make a new best friend. She still is making progress everyday with her comfort level around people, and is now running up to take treats straight from the hand of her people.

She is up to date on all of her medical, spayed, and ready to start building a relationship with a patient person or family who will celebrate her wins with her. It would be best for her to be in a home with another confident dog that she can bond with and can help her transition into her new life.
