My personality

My story

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

Bianca was found as an exhausted stray who had been trying to take care of herself for a long time. Wherever she came from, she had been denied the basic care a dog should be able to count on.

Bianca has clearly been used to breed. Her body also bore the signs of a dog who wasn't cherished. Thankfully, when she was spayed by the shelter, she was also tested for heartworm and negative. She is now vaccinated and on flea/tick/heartworm prevention (as are all of our dogs).

At first Bianca was afraid to look at anyone and would crawl out of her kennel. As her confidence grew, so did her love of affection from people. It didn't take long. :)

We aren't sure of Bianca's age, but she appears to be younger than 5 years. She would thrive in a home with maybe one other friendly dog. We aren't sure how she feels about cats just yet.

Bianca may not be best for a first time dog owner and is likely to thrive with a home familiar with dogs.

Be sure to check out our Facebook page at Wyandotte Animal Shelter (https://www.facebook.com/wacshelter/) for day to day updates on our cats and dogs. :)

Additional questions...

Does this dog get along with cats?

There is almost always an acclimation period when a new pet joins the household. We are happy to suggest a few ways to ease the transition. If one of our dogs is reported to have lived with cats previously, that will be indicated in the dog's description!

Does this dog react well to other dogs?

No dog loves every other dog, just as humans do not like every other human they meet. A proper introduction (meet and greet) would be required as part of our application process.

Is this dog good with children?

The better question is how the children have been taught to handle animals. A dog will respond negatively if he/she is not being handled properly. We can offer suggestions on how to teach children to interact with dogs and pay attention to body language. Young children should never be left unsupervised with new dogs.

How did this dog end up in a shelter?

The top reasons dogs are given up are:

Moving without considering the needs of the pets
Death of the owner with no plan in place for the pets
Previous owner did not provide appropriate training
Owner did not consider the lifespan of a dog
Owner did not consider the cost of providing for a dog
