Rainbow is looking for the love of a lifetime! We have her listed so that we can share her story and perhaps find someone that will understand her needs and have the patience to see her become a wonderful companion dog. There is always hope.
I am her foster mom. She is timid and fearful and although she allows me to touch and pet her, she is a very special case. She is currently fostered outside in a large dog pen and has run of my backyard at night. I often have other foster dogs and cats/kittens so it is always a busy time for taking care of everyone. She loves her dog house and comes out sometimes when called.
She was trapped on the property of a school in Homestead. We rescued her pups and then trapped her. She had serious mastitis and needed surgery. This was 2.5 years ago. We had a couple of trainers come to my house and work with her. She does not like the leash although she was able to run alongside a trainer on a bike ride. She loves cheese.
She has never been fostered inside of a house, though we do think that would change her perception of life. We have just never found a foster that would accommodate her special personality and be able to spend the time that she needs. Rainbow has been around my dogs and she has never been assertive or aggressive. She does sometimes bark at the dog next door through the fence.
Rainbow weighs about 60 lbs. She eats well and probably doesn't get enough exercise. She is probably about 6/7 years old.
Rainbow is not your typical dog. We do still keep hope in our hearts that someone will come along that will devote time and care to her so she can be the dog that she was born to be. If you would rather have a dog that is already trusting and ready for adoption, we have others.
