My story

Breed: Maltese / Terrier mix
Age: 6 yrs.
Weight: 26 lbs.
Good with dogs: yes
Good with cats: unsure
Good with kids: no
Energy level: unsure
Good with men/strangers: yes
Hypoallergenic: yes

Additional info:

Poor Coco was dumped at the shelter terrified and unsure of what was happening to her. She has slowly learned to trust her foster but is still very fearful of strangers who come into her space. She wants love and attention but takes time to learn that you will not hurt her. She is still VERY shy and recovering from her past. She is a good walker on the leash, very treat motivated, and wants a quiet adult only home where she can be loved and never abused or abandoned again.
